Mark Manera grew up in the St. Louis area. A lover of both fitness and baseball he attended Maryville University of St. Louis where he was educated in physical therapy. Trucking found him the same way it finds many drivers, by accident. Some of his first patients walking through the door were drivers with tenure in the industry and he saw the damage done to one's body after trucking for several decades. He knew they deserved better, and that is why he started Supply Chain fitness. You can find Dr. Manera on all social medias by searching for Supply Chain Fitness, or his name.

Driving for a living can take a physical toll on the body. 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.

Truck driver health and wellness today remains a tier one industry priority as it has for decades.

Mark Colson, Alabama Trucking Association CEO ►WHAT OTHERS SAY 3: "Spending the last 25yrs working within the insurance industry I have seen, firsthand, the general position the insurance industry takes with professional drivers. As a profession, truck driving remains one of the riskiest occupations to insure. AND it's not because of bad drivers. It is predominantly health related. When we discovered The Trucking Fitness Company & saw what Mark was setting out to do I immediately reached out to him looking to design a way for our company to add his program into as many of our insurance offerings as possible. Thank you Mark for following through on your vision to change the way drivers approach their health.” Mark Stowe, Executive Vice President of TKM Group Ventures Inc. ►WHAT OTHERS SAY 4: "The program is worth every dollar.

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.

(28:23) Mark mentions some of his plans after graduating. (32:34) Mark gives a couple of factors that contribute to the average lifespan detriments of truck drivers. (39:40) Key Quotes: “We help truck drivers, owner-operators, trucking companies...from a corporate wellness standpoint. 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

Mark Manera is the owner of The Trucking Fitness Company.  Through his experience in the Physical Therapy field, Mark has seen the state a lot of drivers find their health in as they go throughout their career.  So, he decided to give truck drivers a way to fight back.  To not let their career define their health. And that's when Mark started The Trucking Fitness Company.  Through an easy to use app on each driver's phone, his program allows drivers to live a healthy life on the road without making huge changes to their daily routine.  Workouts designed to be done in or just outside of your truck, restaurant guides to help you find the healthiest meals at the truck stop or restaurants near you, and so much more.  His program screams "This is built for drivers" and we couldn't be more excited to have this in our industry!https://truckinfit.com/mark@truckinfit.comhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/truckinfitcommunityhttps://www.facebook.com/thetruckingfitnesscompanyhttps://twitter.com/truckinfithttps://www.instagram.com/truckinfit/David Henry is a long distance trucker with a passion for storytelling.
