Have a friend who does training for a couple of transport companies. All drivers have to do this training before their first trip and then again at regular intervals
Training is how to climb in and out of a truck cab. Most drivers hate it as they considered is treating them as not knowing how to do the most basic of tasks
Not a legal requirement but they identified too many drivers injuring themselves getting in and out. When looked into most people were just being careless
From a selfish point of view injured drivers represented unnecessary down time and hassle to find a replacement at short notice . Training has seen a significant reduction in injury which has to be a win for the drivers
"All is well" is perhaps a bit of an exaggeration, but they seem to be getting better. Last night getting into bed, rolling over in bed was quite painful, but this morning I rolled over without even thinking of them. But now you have drawn my attention - they are still painful, but the pain is low level, down there with my arthritis and neuralgia.
Thanks for thinking about me!

Once over age Fifty its a good idea to carry a copy of your Birth Certificate around in your back pocket.
When contemplating stunts like scaling ladders, climbing on roofs, etc, etc, take it out and read the date on it

I've been climbing on this house's roof since I built it 22 years ago, and climbing on house roofs for probably 70 years if you include the times we sneaked up on the roof to retrieve the ball when Dad was not home (despite an absolute ban on doing so).

3 points of contact and all that? Yep, and that is where I failed. Been on the road for five days with little sleep ( timeslots should be banned) so fatigue played a role.Originally Posted by 3toes;[URL="tel:3129718"
