Driver Health Gets Nationwide Attention
An article in today's New York Times puts a spotlight on an industry-wide crisis, as well as on some innovative solutions. The crisis: almost 9 in 10 trucking company employees, not just drivers, are overweight or obese, according to a 2007 American Dietetic Association study. One of the solutions: Trucking's Weight Loss Showdown. Open to TCA's for hire-carrier members, this 10-week competition will introduce their employees to healthier lifestyle choices. Applications for the Showdown's 1st North American Battle will be accepted through November 30, 2011.
