Your heart beats 101,000 times a day!
During your lifetime it will beat about 3 billion times and pump about 800 million pints of blood. A normal heart beats 70-80 times per minute. Over 70-80 years, it gives a few billion beats. It is a powerful machine inside you so be sure to take care of it.

Wellness Checklist
Focused on your New Years resolution to lose weight? That's a great thing but rather than focusing on simply losing weight start a wellness checklist. This is a great first step to take in the process of becoming healthy. It can be a checklist kept on your phone, computer or a paper journal. Getting your recommended annual tests (determined by your age) is an important first step in total wellness not only for today but for your future. These tests create a baseline that both you and your doctor(s) can reference in the future. The list below gives examples but see your primary care physician to create a personal list based on your age and medical history. Don't forget to keep copiesof test results for yourself. Becoming empowered and taking personal responsibility for your own health is vital!
Blood Pressure Immunizations
Cholesterol Colonoscopy
Height/Weight Mammogram
Skin Cancer Bone Mass Density
Blood Work Teeth
Diabetes EKG

Gone Bananas! |

What began as a tractor swap for a broken down tractor ended up as a rescue mission. This driver had just finished getting loaded with 50,000 pounds of bananas and was ready to head out when problems ensued. The tractor was broken down. The company sent us out with a good cab. Unfortunately when the driver backed under the trailer with the good tractor it was not properly coupled to the trailer. As the tractor pulled out the pin unlocked and the loaded reefer slipped out of the fifth wheel and was laying on the rear tandems of the tractor in a precarious position. We dispatched a second heavy duty tow truck to the scene and used two of our big wreckers to lift the trailer up so the tractor could reposition itself back under the reefer unit and get properly locked in. We prevented a rollover and saved the load of bananas. No monkey business here at NTS! |
