I was in the sleeper on the top bunk. The truck was moving and hit bumps. I was secured properly with a safety net. It didn’t help at all. My head was cut on the edge of the window rim. Looks like I need stitches.
Got hurt, what do I do, team mate was driving.

The new butterfly bandages that have the built in zip ties are perfect for this type of thing
Every pharmacy or drug store , wal mart etc should have them
saves a trip to the urgent care
if you call your company this is what they will want you to do instead of seeking offsite medical care
seeking offsite medical care triggers a osha recordable accident which the company will not wantRideandrepair, hope not dumb twucker, Chi Town Steers and 2 others Thank this.
