As a truck driver, you’re on your rear for long periods of time. A great seat cushion can save you from having back issues like sciatica or other health issues related to prolonged sitting, such as varicose veins, muscle degeneration and heart disease.

Add to that, truckers experience constant vibrations from driving a truck, may be lifting heavy boxes, loading or unloading goods or eating poorly, which could exacerbate back or health issues associated to sitting.

Because of the susceptibility of truckers getting back issues, we’re reviewing the best seat cushions that could help alleviate some health problems.
