    It isn't unusual for truck drivers to have trouble like this. Too many consecutive hours sitting in the same position. When I flew overseas, the airlines would always warn the passengers about this and suggest that you get up every few hours and walk around a little. Trucking companies don't want anyone stopping so they have pretty much stayed silent on the subject.

    I lost a good friend to DVT about 15 years ago. I also know of two more people that died from DVT. It is a serious problem. It was one reason I got out of my truck at least every 150 miles or so and took a walk. There was a reporter covering the war that died from DVT after a long flight back to the US.

    So its monthly right? Because 800 bucks per week is ridiculous.

    You’re Welcome.

    My wife got me some storage for my birthday. Actually it was for last years, and I couldn’t seem to find a shop that could sell and install them without a whole lot of ########. Since it was two birthdays she let me get the center rail box as well.

    Since these have been installed, the weather for me has been beautiful. It seems that snow only really like me hauling my bloated white carcass in and out the cab of my truck and then getting to my chains under the bunk. It seems as if I’ve been offered some respite from the workings of snow, at least in the short term.

    Yes monthly. You must have a brand new or specialized truck.

    Wow! New England is in for a warmup on March 12th. Where I live it could be in the 70's. This would be a very early spring!
