Dr. Mark Manera, Founder & CEO of Supply Chain Fitness, saw this toll first-hand through many of his professional driver physical therapy clients. Dr. Manera decided to utilize his rehab and fitness knowledge to make a difference for those in the trucking industry. The more Dr. Manera learned about the driving industry and his patients, the more he knew he could make a positive impact. He was shocked by some of the research and statistics on the health of an average driver. “The one that was really shocking to me, and the one that was something that said I need to do something about this was, I saw that as a group, truck drivers have a life expectancy sixteen years less than the average population,” Dr. Manera said. The unique lifestyles of the individuals working in driving and supply chain need a specific program designed to meet their needs. “I tell drivers all the time, your health goes with you forever,” Dr. Manera said. “So, when we're making these changes, we need to set it up from day one in a manner that you can do this for the rest of your life. It's realistic, and we can see the compound effect of just showing up every day and getting those small wins.” Supply Chain Fitness takes a proactive approach to the situation and works to make small changes in driver habits that build into an overall transformation in health and fitness rituals. “If we can find a way to meet drivers where they're at and give them a way to live a healthier life out on the road, everyone's going to win, and everyone's bottom line is going to win,” Dr. Manera said.

WE ALL KNOW EATING HEALTHY WHILE TRAVELING ON THE ROAD IS MORE CHALLENGING THAN WHEN WE'RE AT HOME (AND SITTING BEHIND THE WHEEL ALL DAY DOESN'T HELP EITHER); BUT STARTING REASONABLY WITH LONG-TERM GOALS CAN BE A LIFESAVER. This is DOT Compliance on ATI.

I don't think I have to tell y'all that trying to eat healthy on the road is a challenge. Now imagine your job is to be on the road. All. The. Time. You have little body movement and when you do have to move around, the work is strenuous. That's what our nation's truck drivers are facing on a daily basis and it's time we start addressing it. In this episode, we're breaking down a new focus for our nation's truck drivers–diet and exercise on the road. That's why I invited Dr. Mark Manera on the show. Having spent extensive time in health and wellness, he switched his focus to truck drivers by offering solutions to eat healthier and get workouts in while in your truck or standing outside of it. Drivers are able to access an app that tracks their goals and companies are incentivized to offer it as an overall benefit to joining their company. It's a great discussion on something that has a direct impact on our nation's drivers that also has a direct correlation to keeping them on the road and our stores stocked with merchandise. Check out The Trucking Fitness Company websiteFollow Mark Manera on Instagram, TikTok, Linkedin, and his podcast. Search by topic and check out all our past episodes of the Digital Dispatch podcast—right on our website.

Really exercise consistently on the road, live a healthier life, and your ultimate goal is just to help truck drivers stay behind the wheel longer, and retire on their own terms.” - Mark Manera “This mindset shift in the pivot has been...Hey, let's put all of our focus on the drivers that want the solution, want to make a change, just haven't had the resources and guidance put in front of them. And, let's really get those people on our team and start building, you know, this army to go to war, right against the health drivers health problem in the industry.” - Mark Manera “From a recruiting standpoint, this is a differentiator. This is showing truck drivers that you're trying to provide more benefits to them, and also providing much better benefits from a quality of life standpoint. And, that's been the main selling point for the companies and the ones that they are most excited about.” - Mark Manera Resources Mentioned: Mark Manera LinkedIn Trucking Fitness Company Cameron Pechia Thomas Comstock Ryan Young Valley Trucking Insurance
