do truckers use special gloves to prevent hand fatigue?

Lol

 

I find these to be useful. And I never get lonely!

 

If you're going to grip the steering wheel tightly as part of your everyday driving you're going to start having issues with your hands wrist and fingers.I know i'm guilty of that.I'd stop every so often to give my hands a rest.There's no reason to grab the steering wheel for dear life.I never used gloves but would exercise my hands and that helped.I finally broke the habit.

 

From what I see most times thru windows, it's that cell phone they holding tightly with one hand. I bet that hand gets tired

 

I remember seeing those as a kid. I was always told they were for leverage on the old rigs without power steering,so you could crank the wheel easier. I think they have 2 names, one is a slang term and the other is the product name. Unfortunately I can't remember either one.

 

My driving gloves:

They also serve as my fueling gloves, my eating gloves, my chain handling gloves, my welding gloves, my torching gloves, my mechanics gloves and my spank the ole lady gloves. Mostly they serve as my resume.

PS. I hit them with a palm sander and 80 grit about once a week. I did that yesterday.

 

I prefer to bring my own paper.

 

Wimp.

 

Holy crap BIGZ my hands used to look just like that. Then I went back to doing flatbad and now they're soft as a baby's a ss.
