What do truckers use to not get a sore buttocks from hours of sitting

It's kinda weird but I use a heating pad. I usually keep on medium unless I'm serious pain.

 

Try a pillow. Different size pillows.

 

PANSY !!
When I started all we had was a milk crate zip tied to the floor and an old bed pillow for a cushion that was so ragged it looked like a Civil War bandage.
Your poor butt !!

 

Greyhound buses used to be designed to be uncomfortable. MCI bus mfg thought comfort was dangerous.

Buses built in early 80’s had hard awkward seats and just served to fatigue drivers.

In 1986 with the new wider buses, they had comfy seats but removed the sound insulation under the drivers seat hoping it would keep drivers awake, but all it did is fatigue the drivers.

I never had trbl w/truck seats until i got my current truck. Sometimes its so painful i cut the day short. Various cushion/pillows sometimes make it better.

I’m not able to get out of the truck quickly. I need to slowly ease my tail bone out of the truck slowly to avoid pain.

I was so concerned i had rectal cancer i saw an m.d. she had me do certain movements which she said someone w/rectal cancer wouldn’t be able to do.

She tried to stick her finger in my butt. She had to have nurse hold me down and still couldn’t get it in me.

My butt is one-way only, sorry swift drivers

She told me to get a diffrent truck.

 

I wonder how that anti monkey butt powder would work that they sell in the truck stop....

 

It’s German

 

Was that with a copy of Forbes?

 

What company are you driving for?

There are truck seats and then there are truck seats. Mega carriers spec the cheapest (most uncomfortable) seats available for their company trucks.

I drove two years for Swift and every truck had a rock hard seat. Within a few months I developed an agonizing shooting pain down my leg and bone bruises on my hip joints. I went through a couple hundred dollars of seat pads and nothing worked, until I bought a Magic Gel cushion and then modified it to fit my bony ###. It took a couple of months for the pain to go away.

Since then I have driven trucks with far better seats. I haven't used the Magic Gel cushion and I am very comfortable.

If you are stuck driving for a company with rock hard seats, get a Magic Gel cushion. If you really want to solve the problem go with a company that cares about the health of their drivers.

 

One more thing, make SURE you set up the seat and steering wheel for long driving comfort. The seat should be low enough not to cut off circulation on your hamstrings. Push the seat forward so you don't have to stretch to floor the clutch. Tilt the seat slightly forward to help circulation. Have the back of the seat upright. Bring the steering wheel in position so your arms hang free with about 90° bends in your elbows.

In this position I can drive long stretches without a break and have better control over the truck. Many drivers complain of muscle aches after a day driving in big broadside winds. I no longer have that problem.
