Healthy Trucker: Making the switch

Image001

Keeping a healthy lifestyle while being a truck driver is difficult, and even more difficult is making the switch to a healthy lifestyle. It’s never easy to change your habits. Even if you know it would be in your best interest to change, it’s still hard to actually do it. Even through all the obstacles, don’t give up. There is a way to make the switch.

In trucking, it is extremely easy to just stop at a fast food restaurant for all your meals. Not only is it easy, but it’s convenient. You could eat and be back out on the road in less than 20 minutes. It is true that eating healthy generally takes more work and time, but it is worth it. One thing you can do to help yourself eat healthier is plan your time accordingly.

When you are setting out your trip schedule, plan extra time for shopping at stores where you can buy food. For your lunches, you can try purchasing whole grain bread, lunch meat and healthy fixings for a sandwich. Be sure not to smother it in mayo, but try some avocado instead and pile on the veggies.

If you have a small fridge in your truck you can have everything you need for a quick sandwich right there in your cab and it would actually be quicker than a fast food joint. You wouldn’t even have to leave your truck! To have something along with your sandwich, instead of a bag of potato chips, get some carrots, grapes, apples, or even a salad. This would be a much better lunch choice than a big greasy hamburger with fries. It will be nicer on your wallet too.

Now let’s talk about dinner. As the biggest meal in most people’s diets, dinner is a little more complicated. A sandwich and some carrots aren’t always going to cut it. Most diets require some level of cooking but as a truck driver you don’t always have that luxury. 

If you do go out to eat for dinner, just be careful what you eat. It’s a sad but true fact that what is healthy for you isn’t always the best tasting thing on the menu. When looking at the selections, whether it is fast food or a sit down restaurant, think before you order. If you are having a hard time making a healthy choice, ask yourself if a few minutes of good tasting food is worth all the time you will spend with your health problems. Poor nutrition is one surefire way to poor health.

Making the switch to a healthy diet really boils down to one thing: self-discipline. If you can find a way to curb those cravings for sugars and salt, you will find it easier to change your eating habits. You know it will take longer and you know it will not always taste better, but you also know that it needs to be done. Making the switch to a healthy lifestyle is possible, even in the trucking industry.

Get outside with a truck driving job

Imagine yourself sitting at a desk in an office building. You’ve been sitting there for 6 hours and you’ve still got two more to go. You look out the window and the sun is shining and the grass is green. Then you see a truck go by. The driver has the window open, letting the cool spring air caress his face. He’s out in that beautiful spring day while you are not.

Don’t let yourself spend your life at a desk, get out the door and get on the road. Just think about it, if you had a truck driving job, you could be out in the sunny weather. You could be going places.

In an office job, it’s easy to get into a rut of going from your house, to the car, to the office and back again. Each and every day it’s the same routine and throughout most of it you are indoors and you definitely aren’t going anywhere new fast.

With a truck driving job you could be going to all sorts of new places. You could be in Washington State one week and Georgia the next! One day you are surrounded by flat plains of rolling grass then the next thing you know you are driving through a beautiful green canyon.

With a truck driving job you have the unique opportunity to travel the nation and see new things. Now some people might say, “Sure, you can see new places through a windshield, but you’re driving, you can’t get out in it.” Yes you can! The Hours of Service rule requires drivers to take breaks between periods of driving. During one of your breaks try getting out and seeing what your surroundings have to offer.

Some truck drivers get out by finding hiking trails. Hiking, walking, or biking trails are not only a great way to see your surroundings, but they’re also a great way to stay in shape. A truck driving job provides you with the unique opportunity to travel the nation while being able to work and get paid.

Don’t just sit in your office watching a truck go by, wondering where it’s going. Get out and find out for yourself. Get your own truck driving job and you could be out there enjoying what this world has to offer. To learn how you can start your career as a professional truck driver today, visit C.R. England.
