This is one of the reasons for TD to be ruthless. Nobody cares for TD. If TD dun care for themself then this might be the ending, drive till collapse.

Listen to your body. If you are healthy, tomorrow still got money to make. Always carry a water bottle. Best is the stainless steel water bottle called 'kleen kanteen'. More hygienic than plastic or aluminium. Drink while waiting at traffic lights.
Drink more, eat less and drive less. Drive fewer hours, sleep more, see doctor less = earn more money

Tks for all the informative feedback.
I guess Pool is right regarding the Merc's seat, damn bloody low design for a tall person like me with long legs. That is why the nerves suppressed at my buttock area causing the pain... no wonder people say "pain in the ass''.. heee
The other silent killer is smoking.
I started smoking at 15. After smoking for 32 yrs, I finally decided to quit. Now, I really feel better & healthier.. but the condemn lung (collaspe twice) had already done damage. Sob sob...

After driving for 2.5 mths, my body begin to show some symptoms which makes me worry.
Initially, it developed thigh numbness (prolong sitting), bit of back pain (carry heavy lugg), giddiness (prolong driving concentration), a small area of sharp poking pain on the left leg area (prolong sitting), etc.
So I decided to limit the time of driving, frequency of stops, exercises regime which helps to alleviate the situation.
I heard one cabby said his friend got kidney failure resulted partial blindness becos of driving long hours... scary hor?
Any here care to share some tips, remedy, precautions on prolong driving? My water cushion dun seems to help my buttock leh..
This are call occupational hazards under the safety and health working. Not that TD are the having such hazards, every trades and occupation have hazards, bus drivers or any other driver also suffer like us, even an office executive can end up with stress, finger numbness and eye deterioriating due to prolong sitting in office with computer. A machine operator can end up with leg stiffness due to long hours standing, and for those construction and shipyard workers, more worst, they call it 3D work, dangerous, demanding and dirty. So, dear all, not to worry, every occupation have their own hazards that can make our life difficult and full of sickness.As most TDs are in their middle age, not young anymore, some illness are actually arises from your young time chiong period, so for now, try not to smoke, try to eat wisely (go for more veges), exercise regularly (3x per week), drink more (at least 11 glass of water per day), no more than 3 cups of coffee per day, and stop taking energy drink if possible, as for sex, its a man need, but seek proper doctor advises before taking those blue pills legally or illegally. All this call for discipline in one own life. If you lack of good habits and practices, then it is difficult to say that you can go on being healthy. And this apply to all kinds of occupation, not only TDs.
A typical illness can wipe out an entire life saving, that is the cost of medication now a day. Life is in your hand, make your choices.

Depends on your gastric also , some weak gastric cannot tahan citric acid too much .Like mine , cannot tahan orange , lime , lemon , grapefruit etc citric fruits .
Once consume , surely gastric ache .

Milk is the best for those with gastric problem.
Chilly is to be avoided too.
-
Milk ..... yeah doctor told me , can blocked those "holes" in the gastric , but knn drink liao want to lao sai all the time , drink coffee the best , too many la thru out the years , since 8 years old .
Accumulatively , caused my gastric problems . *sigh .
In fact , kopi tiam those coffee not too bad , although still bad , but what caused heartburn for me is NesCafe Gold .
Just too scary to drink anymore NesCafe Columbian Aroma Coffee Gold .

Actually those instant nescafe coffee can cause heart to beat faster, try not to dry so much, for gastric problem, milk is good, the other is teh aleah, or tea with ginger, very good for windy stomach. -
For me, i prefer Tea dun like kopi so much.
But some ppl weak stomache like go take American
Breakfast hav it with tea/kopi with juice n milk sure lao sai 1 haha~~~
