    Know how the truck bounces up and down and damages your spine over time? So how do you cope with it? I loved it at first but now it's time to figure out how to minimize the effects of the bounce. Lets all share our ideas and tips for our shared health.

    Strengthen your back is probably the best way. Deadlift, back extensions, and squats. This will help you avoid injury in the long run.

    I wear no pants while driving, since your wallet and jeans displace your vertebrae causing back problems and pain...
