How do you deal with seat / back?

Don't sit for 12+ hours. Get up every 2 or 3 hours and move around. When you park for the night walk around for a few mintues if you can.

 

Wow, I could never sit & drive for 12+ hours. I do stop a long the way to relieve my bladder and stretch my legs, that helps a lot. Also I make adjustments to my seat along the way, not major, just little changes so I am not in the exact same position all the time.
My trainer had this cool lumbar seat thing that was awesome, I didn't realize how much so until I got my own truck without it. LOL It is on my christmas list.
One thing that always helps he back and body is to drink water, stay hydrated, the disc in between your vertebrea are mostly water, so if you stay hydrated you have more cush.

 

Water or good juices.... Also it is like anything else. You toughen up over time

 

Nope. Try getting a seat cover. No I don't mean a G/F or wife unit, while that does help. Some seat covers have a slight massaging effect.

 

Then after all the water the more stops you'll have to relieve yourself. You can try to roll up a towel and place it right at your lower back plus when you stop you can do exercises that help the lower back.

 

I also place the rolled towel under my legs on long stretches. It helps to elevate the knees higher and give the whole body a different position. I have notice relief in my lower back when I do this.

 

Just make sure tha truck is stoped before you do that..


I seen tha guy on ice road truckers do that...he went in tha sleeper & everything..
