Invest in a good seat cushion. It’s like a mattress for your cab.

stay active and healthy. Do some exercises in your cab or at rest stops, like squats, lunges, planks and push-ups. Eat well and drink plenty of water. And get enough sleep and rest. Your back will thank you.

I adjust my seat and mirrors to have a good posture and avoid slouching or leaning forward

I use a seat cushion that supports my lower back and reduces the vibration from the road.

I see a chiropractor or a physical therapist regularly to get my spine aligned and my muscles relaxed.
