Horsham, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/28/2018 -- As the premier provider of solutions for transport fleets, TQM Logistics understands the challenges that CDL drivers face while on the road. Those difficulties, like lack of energy, mental fatigue, and poor nutrition, can mean the difference between longevity and burnout. Now, the organization is offering tips for drivers to stay healthy while on their extended trips.
Because of the sedentary nature of CDL driving jobs, it's easy for drivers to fall into a routine of eating unhealthily, especially with the wide range of unwholesome food available at rest stations and convenience stores. By visiting a grocery store, or even purchasing pre-washed vegetables and fruit at gas stations, drivers can ensure they get the nutrition they need.
Additionally, exercise is a critical part of maintaining proper fitness levels and keeping the cardiovascular system active. An easy way to squeeze in some time for physical exertion is to bring running or training shoes and go for a quick walk or run. Another way to get some much-needed exercise is through some simple stretching ad calisthenics, like jumping jacks or squats. These options allow drivers to stay active during their lunch breaks, or at rest stops, and increase their energy levels.
Maintaining mental health is just as important as physical health for CDL drivers. It's crucial to break up driving routines to avoid monotony, mental fatigue, and distracted driving. By listening to engaging podcasts, audiobooks, or other interesting content, drivers can stay sharp on the road and prevent burnout.
By following these simple and straightforward tips, CDL drivers can stay alert, focused, and healthy while they're on the road.
