Healthy Trucking Driver Vitality Program helps fleets manage trucker health

At the Mid-America Trucking Show, Driver Health and Wellness and the Healthy Trucking Association of America announced the launch of the Healthy Trucking Driver Vitality Program, which will give trucking companies more of an opportunity to focus on trucker health.

"The Healthy Trucking Driver Vitality Program is the single most important development to date in the nationwide campaign to help drivers improve their health," said Bill Gordon, executive director of the HTAA. "It’s exactly what the industry needs – a universal platform that all drivers can use – an industry standard that will benefit every driver and every fleet."

This new personal health and wellness management tool is a resource that all drivers can use to improve and maintain their health, while also giving drivers an opportunity to monitor their status with health problems such as obesity, diabetes, respiratory illnesses and hypertension.

Some of the benefits offered by the Healthy Trucking Driver Vitality Program include a personal health portal, health coaching, nutrition evaluation, access to a smartphone app with health tracking, health risk assessment, and a health and wellness consultant to participating fleets.
