Big brown sore back:There are some very good post here.I just returned 4 weeks ago from a knee surgury.I was out 3 months.They pretty much throw you to the wolves.I had truck breakdowns the first 2 days(same repair) and was out real late.There is no back up plan the routes are run so tight.Nobody can help...Since I have been back, I've had only one person(an on car soup) ask me how you are feeling.They don't care! Mgt is so busy trying not to get thier butt's chewed out by the division mgt for 9.5's,no lunch in board,nda late etc., etc. that they don't have time to express any nice jestures such as human feelings.it's a military, de-humanizing atmosphere....Luckily for me, I have felt better after week one(which was pain and hell put together).I try real hard to keep a low profile and to stay injury- accident free and get the NDA off in time, then let the rest of route fall as it may.....Good luck with the injury.Hopefully, your prayers will be answered, you pain relieved and you can return as a driver and bid to a 22.5 if you can find if you need too.....Good luck!
