A Carrier’s Ultimate Guide to Driver Wellness
Truck drivers face serious health challenges, with life expectancy averaging just 61 due to poor diet options, lack of exercise, dehydration, stress, and limited medical access. Carriers can improve wellness—and retention—by supporting healthier habits. Key strategies include providing equipment and recipes for better eating, promoting exercise through apps, gyms, and competitions, encouraging hydration with water bottles and rewards, and supporting sleep with better mattresses and education. Telehealth, wellness trainings, and mental health check-ins also help. Tools like Pulse Wellness gamify healthy behaviors, boosting engagement, retention, and overall driver well-being.
