I quit flatbed during menopause. I understand that as your bones begin to decalcify and change density from your hormonal change, a fall becomes a much bigger deal. I did quite a bit of climbing and had to be on top of the load tarping and didn't want take the chance to fall and break a hip or my pelvis, which could be a crippling. But you know best, ma'am. I am currently dealing with career ending urinary issues from holding my pee for too long, and not drinking enough water, and bouncing on an air ride seat. It's worse for women, as we can't water our tires with ease, but any and everyone is subject to incontinence. There are adult diapers for both genders. Good luck to you.

So, when you include the sleep problems, truck driving is a best-case scenario job if you want to get sick and die as fast as possible. Like professional athletes, truck drivers should be better compensated to make up for the lack of career longevity. Hey, it is what it is.
