61is tooyoung Wellness Event Keeps Drivers Trucking
The trucking industry has an average life expectancy of only 61 years, but Foltz Trucking is making great strides to raise that number for their drivers.
For several years, Foltz Trucking has been partnering with PRO Resources to offer wellness programming. Efforts have included numerous successful health behavior programs, such as monthly well- ness coaching calls, a “Worth the Weight” challenge, a “Walking for Wellness” competition, and the current “Foltz Top Ten Truckers” contest for smoking cessation and weight loss.
Their biannual safety meetings include a health fair with free health screenings or
flu shots, wellness presentations featuring speakers from local health organizations, and an awards ceremony where drivers who have made healthy changes or maintained a healthy lifestyle receive financial awards and prizes.
The program has been meeting with great success. When recently polled, 38% of participants reported seeing a physician as a direct result of the health screen-
ings. Seventy-five percent of health fair participants stated they planned to make a change using what they learned at the most recent safety & wellness event.
Foltz Trucking is making an exceptional effort in an extremely difficult industry, which requires creativity and dedication to get active participants. They are truly committed to keeping their drivers rolling along the road to better health and longer life!
