The health and wellness of truck drivers are central to safety, retention, and performance. This session invites attendees to explore a holistic approach to supporting drivers in today’s demanding, mobile work environment.
From nutrition and sleep to movement, mindfulness, and a sense of connection, our expert panel will discuss why wellness isn’t a perk—it’s a strategic imperative.
We’ll review leading carrier initiatives, third-party programs, and technology solutions that are reshaping how fleets care for their people, including:
- Eating well on the road: Realistic nutrition strategies and how food distributors could help close the healthy food gap
- Sleeping: Hotel loads, battery solutions for climate and power comfort and sleeping products.
- Building a sense of community: The opportunity to connect a mobile workforce between drivers, dispatchers, customers etc.
- Movement and mobility: Not just talking about an exercise to perform but diving into why it really matters.
- Minimizing distractions: Balancing communication flow from dispatch, customers, and fleet managers to the driver.
- Empowering voices: Encouraging creativity and innovation by giving drivers a platform to shape a better workplace
Whether you're a fleet executive, safety leader, or HR professional, this session will offer practical ideas—and a little inspiration—to make your fleet not just productive, but people-centered.
