Weekly Driver Health You run hard every day, you’re a long-haul trucker and have to meet schedules so you grab something fast and most likely unhealthy to make the hunger pains subside and regain some energy to continue your duties. You’re okay for now but you wake up in the morning feeling unrefreshed, achy and foggy-minded. You hurry into the truck stop grab coffee or soda and some sort of quick breakfast to start the day. You grab your drink and breakfast and get rolling.... You're just happy to be rolling; the coffee is good and you’re ahead of schedule and this is a route you actually like. And it goes on day after day until you start noticing that you never feel good anymore; always tired, dealing with aches and pains, trouble seeing at night, and the feeling of losing control of everything. You no longer enjoy any aspect of this job and wonder why. Well, it could be your gut! It's very sensitive and the essence of your wellbeing. I have a friend that trashed her gut and its contents leaked into her body. It took many months of surgeries and a long recovery time for her to get back to her good health. Don't let this happen to you! Number one lesson: Take care of your gut and your gut will take care of you! #freedomtransdedicated #FreedomCares #TruckerHealth See more

A Trucker’s Life Family emergencies are stressful at any time but imagine being a trucker and you’re on the road; the day started off great and then you get a call; THAT call telling you your child was in an accident or one of your aging parents is in the hospital. The stress is just that much more. Your heart speeds up and the sense of urgency is elevated because you’re in another state and attached to a load. The best you can pray for is that dispatch can help get you off t...hat load and send someone else to rescue it while you deadhead to your personal vehicle. All this time, you are praying, trying to get updates as much as you can and still drive, drive, drive until you get home. While no one wants to be in this situation, you know it’s a possibility. You should discuss the possibilities with your family so everyone has some sort of a plan. It helps to also form a support circle with your neighbors so they can help in whatever way you need until you reach home. From a non-trucker’s point of view, I strongly encourage other non-truckers in our industry to be part of the support team as well. Knowing they have support from so many different sources will help them as they go through such a difficult time. #freedomtransdedicated #longhaultrucker #FreedomCares #truckerslife See more
