Another trick a lot of drivers do;
keep wearing the same size pants and shirts, even though you've gained another 40 lbs. it'll help you push away from those 2nd and 3rd helpings... keep plenty of Tums, for gas... or you'll bratwurst, and then people should move away....

As for the steering wheel, if you get a truck where the wheel tilts a lot, just tilt it forward to keep it away from your gut. I don't know how much that'll help, but it's worth a shot, methinks.

The toughest for me where the 379's.
I'm 240... which is about 30 over. I can't imagine anyone bigger making it between the seats, without grease. My last rig was a T-600 coffin sleeper. Never needed the sleeper though, so I was able to let myself eat donuts...  All local or Intrastate runs.
