Are you a truck driver struggling to maintain your health while on the road? Do long hours behind the wheel, limited access to healthy food, and a sedentary lifestyle make it challenging to stay fit and healthy? If so, you're not alone. A 2022 survey by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) found long-haul truck drivers are more likely to smoke, be overweight, and are less likely to be physically active compared to other US workers. If truckers develop a health condition that affects their ability to drive, it could cost them their CDL, and their career.
But there is good news: on the latest episode of Life By The Mile, we sit down with Stephen Kane and discuss a wellness program offered by Rolling Strong that is specifically designed to help truck drivers stay healthy and active. Whether you're a solo operator or part of a fleet, Rolling Strong's program can be customized to meet your unique needs and goals.
Stephen stresses the need for trucking companies to create a culture of wellness for their drivers by providing access to healthy food options, exercise facilities, and support from coaches. By making wellness a priority, companies can help their drivers stay healthy and productive on the road.
Drivers - it’s never too late to take charge of your health and enjoy a long and fulfilling career in trucking. Get back on the road to health and wellness by watching the latest episode of Life By The Mile featuring Stephen Kane, delivered by FreightWorks.
