[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1047784, member: 42554"] Driving Feeders really weakens your lower back muscles so most of us have some sort of degenerative disc disease going on. Getting in and out of the Tractor can be dangerous if you slip or step down into a hole. We have a few guys twist or break ankles every year. Fatalities are more commonplace than in Package, and even minor accidents can cause major injuries. The dollies weigh about as much as a small car and while they are counter-weighted they can be difficult to maneuver especially on rough terrain. One small rock will cause them to swing to one side violently. I've had one deck me on a gravel surface so I'll do a dolly-back (dolly attached to front trailer) no matter how long it takes if I have to hook up a set on dirt or move the rear box to a pad if available. Most of us have decades of service without ever having to take Comp or LTD so I don't think anyone should have to feel bad when it becomes necessary. [/QUOTE]
