Attention Truck Drivers!

10/17/2011

Whether it’s long-haul transport or local beverage delivery, truck driving is one of the hardest jobs on the body. In fact, truck driving is always at or near the top of OSHA’s list of professions for lost work due to injury.

Take care of your back with these tips:

-Vary your seat position slightly every 30-60 minutes to vary the stress on your body.
-Use a gel seat cushion if the truck vibrates too much.
-Adjust the seat so that your knees are no higher than your hips
-If possible, adjust the lumbar area of the seat to provide gentle support. A towel or lumbar roll may be added to support the low back if needed.
-The front of the seat should not contact the back of the knee. Such contact will cause drivers to slide forward into a rounded posture.
-Do NOT go directly from prolonged sitting to lifting and carrying tasks. Give you back a few minutes to adjust by completing other tasks such as paperwork or talking with the client.
-Moving from a warm truck into cold outside temperatures can cause muscles to stiffen. This puts truck drivers more at risk for injury when lifting objects. Keep a vest or jacket close by and use it.

If you experience any symptoms such as low back pain, upper back ache, or neck pain, consult your doctor of chiropractic. In addition to helping you examine your ergonomic risk factors, your chiropractic can help you alleviate the symptoms with hands on-treatment.

Spinal manipulation and other chiropractic techniques have been proven to be safe and effective methods to decrease pain and related symptoms.

It is necessary for each person who used to drive their vehicle that take precautions and follow the traffic rules. Violating these rules can cause a blunder for us. Thanks for sharing this informative post for all the truck drivers.

Thanks for these tips for truck drivers. I'm really glad that you mentioned it's important to make sure that the front of your seat doesn't contact the back of the knee, especially since this can ruin your posture. Definitely sounds worthwhile to take the time beforehand to make sure that everything is adjusted accordingly, especially for long drives.

It made sense when you said that changing seat positions regularly can reduce the stress on truck drivers' bodies. My brother told me he wants to start looking at CDLA jobs because he enjoys driving and thinks it would be a good career fit for him. I'll share your tips with him to help him stay comfortable when he starts a job!

i want to share my testimony of how i become rich and famous today… i was deeply strangled up by poverty and i had no body to help me, and also i search for help from different corners but to no avail… i see people around me getting rich but to me i was so ashamed of my self so i met a man on my way he was very rich and he was a doctor so he told me something and i think over it though out the day so the next day i looked up and i keep repeating what he said to me.”if you want to get rich quick and be famous” you need to cross your heart and do what is in your mind so i tried all i could in other for me to do as he said so later on i told my fellow friend about this same thing then my friend was interested in my suggestions so i decided to look in the internet and i found their number so we decided to contact them and unfortunately we did as they instruct us to do and later they told us to get some requirements and all the rest…so this initiation took us just a week and later on the great fraternity gave us $1,200,000 to start up our lives….and now am testifying that if in any case you want to join any great fraternity all you need to do is for you to contact them because they are legitimate and they do as what they instructed them to do,so you can as well whatsspa +2347051758952 morganilluminatirich@gmail.com

My testimony on how I became an Illuminati member. I want to notify the people who want to join the great illuminate, on how I was helped by a great Illuminati member. His name is Mr Felix. Helping me to regain my life from the stage of death. after being sacked for about 5 years and six months. After being scammed by so many members of the Illuminati. I have been hopeless, financially down throughout those years. But one day, as I was browsing through the Internet, I came across the post of the Great Illuminati member, Mr Felix, saying you can be famous, rich and successful in life by been a member of the great Illuminati, immediately I contacted and I explained everything to him and he recommended me and helped and I pay for the membership registration form which will be used to initiate me, and I was initiated to the great Illuminati new world order. Afterwards they gave me all the guidelines and told me that all new members are rewarded with the sum of $1,000,000 US Dollars cash after initiation. With the help of Mr Felix. I was initiated fully as a complete Illuminati member. If you have failed into scammers before, or this is your first time looking for someone to help you become a member, my advice for you is to give Mr Felix a try. He is your best chance of becoming what you wish for your future life, Contact him Email: illuminatiworld521@gmail.com
