Sciatica is a Career Ender: Protect Your Back on 11-Hour Shifts

You know the feeling. Hour 8 of your shift, and the dull ache in your lower back starts shooting down your leg. That’s sciatica, and it’s one of the most common reasons drivers leave the industry early.

Factory truck seats are built for durability, not your spine. After 500,000 miles, the foam is compressed, and you’re taking every pothole directly to your vertebrae. You can’t always replace the seat, but you can upgrade the suspension.

A Gel-Infused Memory Foam Seat Cushion does two things: it isolates you from road vibration (Whole Body Vibration) and relieves pressure on your tailbone with a U-shaped cutout. Combine it with a Mesh Lumbar Support to force your spine into the correct curve, and you’ll walk straight when you climb out of the cab. Don't let pain dictate your miles.
