Trucking takes more from your body than most people will ever understand. The long hours, bad food, and constant sitting are a recipe for health problems if you don’t fight back.
—
Q1: How can truckers eat healthy on the road?
Avoid the fried truck stop trap. Simple habits — grilled over fried, water over soda, fruit over candy. Pack your own food when you can.
—
Q2: What about sleep?
Protect your sleep like your CDL depends on it — because it does. Use blackout curtains, avoid caffeine late, and stop scrolling your phone before bed.
—
Q3: How do you handle mental health?
Loneliness, stress, and depression are real on the road. Stay connected to family, talk to other drivers, and don’t be ashamed to ask for help. A strong mind keeps you rolling as much as a strong truck does.
