These days, there are quite a few employers out there who are concerned about the health of their employees and are promoting wellness in their business. This is taking place within the trucking company and it is a good thing for drivers.
In a business that needs to move fast there is a lot of sitting, and too much sitting can lead to obesity. There are wellness programs out there that give truckers ideas on how to move. For example, they can stretch inside their cab and walk around their truck. Also, with all the heavy lifting involved on the job, truckers are more susceptible to strains and pulled muscles. For this, companies have been using safety training and fitness testing.
Educating yourself about the health issues within the trucking industry is a good place to start in order to prevent them.
