As a long haul professional driver in a transport company, there are several factors that can contribute to the risk of developing back pain symptoms on the job. It’s not uncommon to experience symptoms due to the nature of your work. Back pain is an extremely common issue among long-haul truck drivers, with an estimated 73% suffering from it at some point. The sedentary nature of the job, combined with poor posture, whole-body vibration, and lifting heavy loads, puts immense strain on the back muscles and spine. However, with proper management, you can minimise the discomfort and maintain a healthier lifestyle.
