Doing Research For Class Project On Self Care For Truckers.

Hi My name is Dae and I am doing a research assignment for a course I’m taking. I wanted to talk about how truckers maintain an healthy lifestyle when working such a strenuous job. What would make being a trucker better for your physical and mental health? I have loved ones that are in the trucking industry and questioned what could be helpful as far as having balance when you are on the road. And coming from a woman’s perspective, it may shine more light on what the industry can improve for workers

I have a few questions and would love to hear feedback if anyone is interested.

Thank you and would truly appreciate any participation!!!

Howdy, Dae!

Our own Kearsey (Prime driver/trainer and moderator on Trucking Truth) has a SPLOOSH of videos; many catering to WOMEN'S needs in the industry, on many 'personal' levels.

Here's a link to her channel, and you can find her posts on TT by her, under the same name.

Truckin' Along with Kearsey

Wish you the best!

ps: Old School also has a HECKUVA blog, where he took his wife and 3 daughters OTR (separately, and they all look alike so don't ask me who's who, haha!) It's in his profile. He's a walking wealth of information!!

pps: I'd LOVE to see the end result of your project. NickJordan is doing a similar study (in the general category) for his senior thesis. We actually LOVE THIS STUFF.. (especially us older'ns with kids IN college, ie: me, hahaha!)

Thank you so much for all the information. I truly appreciate you! And yes the course is still ongoing but I’ll come back with an update! Thanks again!

Anytime, and anything I can do to help, outside the realm. Kearsey's email is in her profile, as is mine. I'm just a 20 plus year trucker's wife with a paltry B.S. degree, haha!

Brett (site owner) is a scholar AND a trucker. He's got shoes filled, for sure. You can, as you see to!

Stick around; ask and we shall answer! I check my emails; if I can help, let me know!
