I did it for 15 years and that was enough. It's a very good job but as you know a very tough job. 110 stops....I remember working half days too lol. Most I ever did was 436 during Christmas, a lot of easy townhouses but still kicked my ### lol.
Seat belt and shoulder belt...?

Insurance premiums are based on risk. No seat belt use, risk goes up, premiums go up.
Don't matter how much they write off, it still costs something.

I got to try mine out 17 years ago.
Blacked out from low blood sugar at 58 mph. Went off 15 ft drop onto solid granite rock. The seat air ride broke coming down allowing the seat belt to have some extra slack so my face still hit the steering wheel breaking my right cheek bone and a concussion.
After three days in the hospital I was alright. The truck and trailer was written off.Last edited: Jun 15, 2019

This was mine in 2012. The cab wasn’t this bad from accident but damaged more during the recovery. The seatbelt held me submerged in water. But it was better than rolling around the cab or worse. It rolled almost all the way over as I went over on passenger side.Rideandrepair, PE_T, Lepton1 and 5 others Thank this. -
