Description:7 in 10 long-haul truck drivers are obese – 2 times more than U.S. adult workers.
Obesity increases the chance for these health problems:
• Type 2 diabetes
• Sleep apnea
• Heart disease
• Cancer
• Joint and back pain
• Stroke
These problems can disqualify you from receiving your commercial driver’s license (CDL).
No CDL may be hard on your wallet and your health.
What can you do to prevent obesity?
• Eat healthy and smaller portion sizes.
• Drink more water instead of sugary drinks like soda.
• Be more physically active.
• Track your weight and body mass.
