10 Healthy Back Tips
1. Exercise regularly. This does not have to be anything overly-strenuous. Don't overdo it! Something as simple as a daily walk can make a huge difference to your overall health and well-being.

2. Eat a healthy diet. Proper nutrients allow the body to repair itself more easily.

3. Maintain good posture. Are you sitting up straight as you read this? Help your back. Ask how you can improve.

4. Stretch your spine before and after sports. This helps loosen up the surrounding muscles and can prevent stress and injury.

5. Travel light! Don't overload your backpack or purse. Remember to carry it over both shoulders to balance the load whenever possible.

6. Stretch your legs and back after each hour of sitting. Take a rest break. Whether in a car or at a desk, stretching regularly will help to keep you from tightening up or injuring yourself further.

7. Never cradle the phone between your neck and shoulder.

8. Sleep on your back or side, not on your stomach. This helps to keep your spine in line and reduces the risk of hurting your neck while you sleep.

9. Invest in the best good chair, pillow and mattress you can afford. When you think about the amount of time you use them each day, it's well worth it.

10. Drink water. First thing in the morning is especially important because you're dehydrated after many hours of sleep.

The weather will go back to colder winter temps again soon. BUT while the temps are still nice do yourself a favor. Open up every single door and window that you can. Turn on any fans you have. Circulate. Fresh air exchange goes a LONG way towards helping to keep you from getting sick and helping you get well faster if you already are. That being said. If you are prone to seasonal allergies, be sure and check the allergens and pollen in your area at places like WeatherBug before you do this.

Every little bit of info can help!

On July 14, 2025, FMCSA issued a temporary waiver to support the ongoing transition to the Medical Examiner’s Certification Integration (NRII) system, which replaces the traditional paper-based process with secure electronic transmission of medical certification data.

FMCSA acknowledges that some drivers may experience delays during this transition and aims to prevent disruptions for drivers and employers.

What does this mean for drivers?

The waiver allows interstate CDL and CLP holders, as well as motor carriers, to continue using paper copies of medical examiner’s certificates as proof of medical certification for up to 15 days after issuance.

This waiver is effective through October 12, 2025.
