While taking weeks or even month long trips, there are lifestyle changes that truck drivers need to follow in order to stay fit. It’s important for truck drivers to ask themselves “How do I stay healthy on the road?” For some, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can be challenging because they may not have the resources that people in other professions have, but that’s not to say that living a healthy life as a truck driver isn’t possible. Annie shares ten ways you can stay healthy while on the road, along with the importance of making small, healthy choices each day. We also discuss how you can optimize your driver fitness basic score.
