how to keep butt from hurting while driving?

have u thought of doing yoga in ur down time i know silly but i have a bad back and that seems to help idk if it will for a sore bum but worth a try

 

Take your wallet out

 

Try getting out on the 30min. break and work up a sweat moving around truck as much as you can till you cant go any longer.

 

In addition to taking your wallet out of your back pocket, make sure that NOTHING is in your back pockets when seated in the driver's seat.

 

buy airhowk seat,i got mine from amazone,its around 80$ the truck driver one,huge help

 

I nearly had to quit trucking last year from symptoms like the OP's. It was difficult to climb in or out of the truck. The bone in my left hip and down through my left leg was extremely sore. I tried memory foam and other seat cushions. Finally I tried a Magic Gel cushion and customized it and then it took a few months but the pain went away.

If you start getting pain like this don't fool around and try to tough it out. Figure out a solution quickly.

Even after getting the Magic Gel cushion I still had to figure out a better sitting position. Now I have the seat low and tilted forward for maximum circulation in my legs and have the back upright with maximum lumbar support in the air on my seat. I'm bolt upright as I drive with the steering wheel close enough to let my arms hang down. I'm more alert and relaxed and can drive much longer shifts.

 

Yup, we make too much money and it just hurt our back carrying it.

 

I get in and out enough in the course of a day that I don't run into a lot of this (a long drive for me is 90 minutes). The wallet, however, is a biggie. Even a small slim wallet will tilt the base of your spine sideways. A long day of less than perfect roads, and that little tilt to your spine really turns into a problem. That, and the pressure of the front edge of the seat on the back of your legs.

 

Let me guess op....

International Towstar?

Yuck.... Worst four weeks driving a truck ever. Junky AND uncomfy.
