[Tex Mex]

I am 24 years old, been driving for a little over 2 years, and unfortunately have been out 3 weeks on comp due to a lower lumbar sprain attempting to be superman 2.0 for 2016 peak (350 stops a day) today's my first day back and I no longer desire to be my managers golden child but instead I wish to make it to retirement...in one piece... with as little metal in my body as possible. Obv safe work methods help with that a lot but does anybody else have any tips or tricks you could give me? Preciate the helps boys

Talk to a Physical Therapist for exercises for the abs and lower back.

Then do them.

You don't want help from the ladies?

Work like a human being. Have good shoes and gloves. The handrail and dollies are your friends.

Don't worry about when you'll get done, and try to make a certain time, that's when you get sloppy, and hurt.

Use your two wheeler and do some stretches in the morning.

Get into feeders as fast as you can.

IDk if you like to work out but deadlifts are great for strengthening and thus protecting your back from injury

 

[haller]

Most importantly stretch your back and hamstrings.

And stay hydrated. It helps keep your muscles lubricated and flushes out the junk food a lot of drivers eat on the run.

You may want to keep your knees intact----you may need them to keep your job.

Follow the methods. really this pisses off management, but its the only way to make it to retirement.
use Three points of contact when entering and exiting the vehicle, Fold in your mirror at every stop, face the bulkhead door to open and close it, walk on the paved surfaces, and at a pace that will help you work the mandatory 12 - 14 hour days that new Hires are required to work. Be consistent and give up hope.

 

[Indecisi0n]

Masturbate before every shift.
