    Anyone using any compression stuff? I bought some socks last week, and I love them. My feet and lower legs have felt so much better the last few days that it's hard to explain.

    I used to wear Jobst brand socks when I worked in a machine shop and was on my feet for ten hours a day. I wore them sometimes delivering until they got holes in them and never got any more. Apparently they've become pretty popular with runners, and I got some with a lot thicker material in the foot part. They seem like they will last a while, and the price was a lot less than I paid years ago. And there are some pretty cool colors. I might even be able to wear them with shorts on.

    This is what I bought.

    I have a few pairs of Copper Fit socks. Don't think they'd be considered compression though. They are very comfortable.

    I usually wear Georgia Boot Company Socks they seem to be the best for me, one time I bought some pollyester socks from Kohls and I still have them around, but try not to ware them because they smell awful and make my feet stink when they get wet. The socks from Georgia Boot have worked best for me.

    Hi guys sorry I've been away, over on my second first date ever thread.
    Anyhow busy with my house anyhow, Monday busy 15 stops and 669cases.
    Tuesday 923 cases and 13 stops yeah I was pretty full.

    Wednesday 650 something...13 stops.
    Icey on Tuesday like hazzardous ice not good. At any rate I got it all done.

    On another note we've got some troubles, one of our big hospital stops is starting to turn on is its getting scary US Foods is gunning hard for there business and the hospital wants US Foods. I don't do that stop normally, but U.S. foods sales people are in there and I guess pretty soon @Cardfan89 will be diverting there pretty soon.

    I was up in Kalamazoo today and there was enough of a freezing rain that it made climbing a huge hill quite an adventure. I got about 3/4 of the way up a long hill on Drake Road and I felt the rear of the truck start to slide. By the time I got to the top of the hill my speed was below 5 mph. I can't imagine how much fun it was going down that stupid hill.
