Be a Healthy Driver

What else can a truck driver do to stay fit and healthy?

Raising this theme up we can’t miss the question of mental health. When you are drowning in a daily routine, you aren’t motivated, and even exhausted, you have to think about things that you have to change. When you feel that you can’t handle it alone, remember that it is okay to ask for help. It’s especially important that truck drivers don’t overwork themselves. Since the trucking and shipping industry is 24/7, it is very likely you have an irregular schedule to meet the on-demand needs of dispatchers. What can you do? Buy earbuds, to block the traffic sounds. You need more fresh air to feel better. 

One more thing is to stay hydrated. Our bodies are 60% water, and that constant hydration is necessary to expel metabolic waste and toxins from our systems. Everyone should drink a half-gallon of water per day in order to stay hydrated, leaving you more energized and alert. You might even see weight loss benefits. So, drink more water rather than coffee.

And the last thing is to add some exercise to your daily routine. After the whole day behind the wheel, spend 10-15 minutes doing cardio training.

We believe in you!
