Do you guys get blisters on your hands?

That means you were a softy coming into the business.

They'll toughen up. I never thought about it until you said something. I always worked my hands so they were already there when I started. But I remember when I was younger and started jobs like swinging a hammer, where your hands had to adapt. Or even going in the army and getting blisters on your feet. It's all part of being a working man. Be proud of them blisters. They'll turn into calluses.

 

Put some lotion on your steering wheel.

Like CC said they will toughen up. If you were the fingerless motorcycle gloves just take them off when you get out of the truck.

 

So.

you call yours........

The Wheel !!

that's interesting...................

 

At least he said he had blisters on both hands. One hand, we would have to wonder.

 

Let go of that death grip on the Wheel Driver!

 

Maybe one hand tires easily . Was he the one I heard say "Thank you , hand ? " on the CB ?

 

Oils leach out of the soft plastic of the steering wheel. I react to those oils by breaking out in sort of blisters, then the skin keeps drying out and peeling. It's very painful. I counteract it by keeping my hands moisturized with a non oily lotion and wipe the steering wheel down about weekly with cleaning wipes.

 

Ease up on the grip is also a good one I was watching a new driver once and he had such a tight grip his knuckles were white. I tried to calm him down "he was bumping a dock" and he simple to loosen up a little

 

Try it w/o power steering
