Tips for taking care of your neck & back when driving

Just before you get ready to start a long drive, do some simple stretching exercises - especially on your back area. Also, make sure that the car seat is angled in a position that gives you the most comfort and support. Use a rolled towel, pillow or a lumbar support behind the lower back when driving. 

You can also adjust the neck support on your seat so that you can rest your head back if necessary. Walking around the vehicle or take a short walk. During these breaks, try to stretch your muscles as much as you can to prevent them from getting too stiff or achy. It is important to get out of the car and stretch after every 30 or 60 minutes of driving- this can loosen your muscles after sitting in a confined position for a long time.

Welcome Anthony Foxx, Our New Transport Secretary

Anthony Foxx was voted in by the U.S. Senate as the new Secretary of Transportation today, and the American Trucking Associations' (ATA) and its members were quick to welcome him into his new role.

Bill Graves, ATA president and CEO, congratulated the former Charlotte mayor on his confirmation. “As I said when he was nominated, the challenges of being mayor of a large city like Charlotte are not all that different from those of being a governor, so I’m confident he will be up to the test of providing this country with the first-rate, world-class transportation system our industry and our economy demand.”

President of Combined Transport, and ATA Chairman Mike Card said that the trucking association is open and eager to work with Foxx as he adjusts to his new role.
