Being a truck driver and being healthy doesn't often go hand in hand. I have never met a driver who has stepped into the profession because they thought it would be a healthy lifestyle. And unfortunately, many drivers don't realize how hard trucking can be on their health until they are "in it". Approximately one-third of adults in the U.S. are overweight, and the country's trucking industry is not exempt. A recent report by the New York Times cited a study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association that found 86 % of the estimated 3.2 million truck drivers in America are obese . And there are dozens of sites floating around out there telling truck drivers to exercise more and showing them truck driver workouts that are just gym-based exercises in front of a truck.

Find five minutes each day to move on purpose: That may not seem like much, but we often bite off more than we can chew, and the overachiever, all or nothing approach to health will leave you giving up before you even try. So start small. Start with five minutes of continuous movement, walk laps around your truck, step up and down off your truck steps, do arm circles, clean your windshield; I know you can find something. 2. Go to bed five minutes early: Sleep is a constant effect on the truck driver health , and often the environment they are parked in for the night, but it can often be a lack of preparation for a good night's sleep. Going from over stimulation activities like scrolling Facebook, activities with overhead lights on, or listening to overstimulating music or T.V. show and then expect their brain to shut off the moment their head hits the pillow.
