Tractor Brake Knobs Causing Injuries
Duck
Sarcastic remark goes here
Every once in a while my pinky finger gets smacked by the knob as I'm popping it out & it kinda stings for a few seconds.
Should I go get an X-ray next time it happens?
Is there a class action suit for people who get mild, momentary fingertip pain? If so, where do I sign up to get the $7.86 I'm owed for my pain and suffering?

My palm hurts because that's what I use to push them in. I should sue Freightliner, Mack, and Bendix.

I thought getting smacked or pinched was fairly common for us truck drivers & not really something we all pay much attention to as a big deal. But apparently stress injuries to hands, fingers & wrists are pretty common & we just don't ever talk about it. Stuff like sprains, strains, bone spurs, pressure fractures, etc. I read an article about a study done on bus drivers (who have to use their brakes at every stop) having lots of issues, even shoulder problems. I only found out this week that there's even little metal lever that can be attached to the knob to keep your hands out of the way that requires less force to pull the knobs. Like I said, it never occurred to me that it could be a bigger problem than just a few seconds of ouch for us.

Yeah I have had my finger hit by the buttons and it stings a bit. I can deal with that.
What really gets my rage up is when you push in the red and the yellow comes out and you push in the yellow and the red comes out. I really don't need this B.S. right now!
