As the old song goes, "Summertime, and the livin' is easy ..."

That's not always the case for truckers, who have to be on the road during the hottest part of the year and the season for treacherous thunderstorms, tornadoes and even hurricanes. Not to mention increased vacation traffic, and highway construction.

However, the good news is that the current issue of the Overdrive and Truckers News Truckers' Gear Guide from the RoadPro Family of Brands is now online, and its loaded with products and information that will make life on the road at least a little easier.

"What's in it?" you ask. Here's what:

• Weight loss -- especially for truckers on the road -- can be like life on a seesaw: down one week, but up the next. Brandon Rothrock, creater and owner of B-Lean Fitness, offers a workable road map for "Achieving lasting weight loss as a trucker."
• Hope Zvara, founder of Mother Trucker Yoga explains how "Harness the power of gratitude on the road" can turn any lonmg stretch of highway into a scenic route. She suggests we "hit the road with a thankful heart and watch how the world opens up in return." Try it, and see what happens this summer.
• There are any number of devices that can make summer on the highway more comfortable and keep you, the trucker, better connected.Included in the Gear Guide is a look at the various Bluetooth-enabled devices that can make your driving easier and your cab free of wires.
