Health fairs at TA Petro during Appreciation Week

Travel Centers of AmericaDuring National Truck Driver Appreciation Week — Sept. 11 through Sept. 16 — Rolling Strong and Truckload Carriers Association hold free health fairs for truck drivers at eight TA and Petro Stopping Centers across the country.

At each location, Rolling Strong will provide CDL wellness coaches from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. who will conduct health coaching and screenings consisting of weight, BP, heart rate, and BMI. Coaches will also have self-testing glucose readers available for drivers who need to test their blood sugar.

At all locations, Rolling Strong will be giving away a FIT (Freightliner In-Cab Trainer) System to drivers that have a basic health screening and coaching session. The St. Christopher Truckers Fund, a charity that helps sick and injured truckers and their families, is providing vouchers for drivers to get free flu, shingles and pneumonia vaccines at participating pharmacies.
