Hey fellow truckers, do you know what the DOT physical requirements are for blood pressure? I found this article that explains it
https://newjobs4you.com/blogs/trucking-law/blood-pressure-cdl-limits-dot-physical-requirements/
Apparently, you need to have a blood pressure below 140/90 to get a two-year medical certificate. If it’s higher than that, you might need medication or a shorter certificate. How do you manage your blood pressure on the road?
I’m wondering if I’m destined to be alone forever. My lifestyle makes it hard to find a significant other and I don’t think I’m attractive. How do you deal with loneliness when you’re on the road? Jokes are welcome; I don’t want to bring down the mood of this thread. I take antidepressants to help.
I'm feel lonely because I'm home only for 34 hours every 6-8 days. I tried to buy happiness by paying for an escort, but I realized that I missed having a woman to hug and sleep next to every night. I'm now feeling lonely and regret what I has given up for his job.
How do over the road truckers cope with the health challenges they face?
Many truckers frequently struggle with mental health problems while driving. Company drivers need to take action to make sure they are coping well, whether with depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The mental health of truck drivers is crucial not only to their professional success but also to their overall well-being and personal lives.
On the road, it's challenging for me to stay active. Here is what I advise.
What can drivers do about it?
The good news is that these problems can be dealt with before they escalate into larger ones. If the proper actions are taken, truck drivers' mental health can be enhanced.
According to specialists, truck drivers should take the following actions if they believe they are dealing with depression or another mental health condition:
- Stay connected with loved ones.
Being away from home is difficult for anyone, but being a truck driver who travels across the nation or even abroad may make things considerably more difficult.
When you're driving, a lot can go wrong, including traffic congestion, collisions, mechanical issues, and more. If you're anxious about all of these potential outcomes, try to concentrate on the present moment rather than what might occur in the future.
Knowing what is generating the stress will help you address it and, if required, make changes. Making a list of everything that concerns you about your job or life as a driver is one approach to accomplish this. Once you've listed everything, consider why each of these things upsets you.l.
- Find a way to sleep and have a rest.
One of the leading factors in truck driver accidents is lack of sleep. This is due to the fact that it is harder to focus on the road, which raises your chance of an accident. If you start to feel sleepy while driving, pull over and rest for a while.
To decide when to stop driving for the day and take a break, keep track of how much sleep you receive each night. Stress on the road can be decreased by getting enough sleep.
Is your employer flexible about letting you take time off? What are the usual steps for you to do that?
