You can manage. You do what you have to. I was down in Al on a monday afternoon. Picked up my tarps and felt my back go. Finished the tarp job and crawled in the truck a very hurting boy.
Made my delivery with help from other Landstar drivers to untarp. Got my next load headed towards home, no tarp this time. Delivered and got home on a friday afternoon. Chiro on monday mornin. That was a miserable week.

We do what we have to do, that's for sure Brick.
I used to work with an equipment operator who had herniated discs and the docs told him he needed to find another line of work. The guy was in late 50's was operating since he was 18. He didn't know anything else and basically told us that he was going run equipment until he "fell off the machine."

No offense intended... but Bricky, Ron, you guys are just plain STUBBORN creatures! At least Grandpa's old mule stopped when she was hurtin! And when my back slips out of place, I just plain CAN'T move.. not won't, CAN'T. (Okay, I can move, but I can't breathe if I move..)

A guy gotta do what he gotta do.

And when you are in AL its a long way from home!!!!

You just grow a bigger set and man up and do whats gotta be done. Not because its fun.

Mine has gone out bad enough I could not walk!

I've got three herniated discs which I could tolerate, but now they are pinching my sciatic nerve and that is painful. I definitely need to get into a chiropractor when I make it home this time.

Yes you should go hide.


I saw a hot babe flatbedder in Denver one day at the Sapp Brothers. She was fine and in shape, I don't think I would have wanted her to have a "member"
