Throughout the month of September, truck drivers can receive wellness information from a major insurance company.
Progressive Commercial Auto Insurance and Siphiwe Baleka, the “fittest truck driver in America,” are offering healthy living tips and tricks on TruckerTerritory.com.
The TruckerTerritory.com portal includes
- Cab Cuisine, a collection of simple and nutritious recipes designed to be cooked right in a truck cab
- Truck Fit, additional workout routines to try out while on the road
- Truckers of America, which includes inspirational stories from drivers
- Rig Riot, a collection of entertaining games, comics strips, and puzzles to keep truckers’ minds sharp when taking a break from a long stint on the road
“The well-being of our drivers has always been a priority, and part of our job at Progressive is to make sure our customers have all the tools they need to get on the road and do their job in the most effective, safe and healthy way possible,” said Brett Stalnaker, commercial auto product manager for Progressive. “We’re committed to providing valuable resources to truckers to help them improve their health and wellness through content on our Trucker Territory website and our newly-formed relationship with Siphiwe Baleka.”
After working just two months as an OTR driver, Siphiwe, a former Olympic swimming hopeful, had gained 10 percent of his previous body weight and realized how difficult it was for truckers to stay healthy on the road. He made it his mission to put an end to the trucker health epidemic.
