How Physical Fitness Helps Drivers Combat Mental Health Issues

Mental health is an incredibly important part of our overall health. Among many who suffer struggle with loneliness, depression, chronic sleep disturbances, anxiety, and emotional problems. 
In efforts to improve the overall trucking environment for drivers, the trucking industry, and the safety of all on the road, we are helping to prioritize mental health promotion, assessment, and treatment.
Disclaimer: To reduce and avoid injury, check with your doctor before beginning any healthy eating or fitness program. By performing any of the exercises mentioned in this planner, you are performing them at your own risk. Decker Truck Line will not be responsible or liable for any injury or harm you sustain as a result of this planner’s health and fitness tips.

Mobility is vital to truck drivers. As a driver, if your mobility is compromised you not only will struggle with getting in and out of the truck but also performing the required pre-trip and post-trip inspections, throwing and securing tarps, washing out trailers, adjusting the fifth wheel, backing into a dock, putting chains on, just to name a few physical demands.

Improving Overall Fitness Health

1. What are your fitness goals?

Ask yourself why are you being active. Maybe you want to lose weight, sleep better, increase your energy, gain strength, add muscle tone and flexibility, or just feel good.

2. Find an activity you enjoy

You are more likely to stay consistent if you enjoy the activity. Variety is key, if you get bored with one activity, try a different one.

3. Get Support

Check out our Facebook Group Driven for support from others here at Decker. https://www.facebook.com/groups/792510244651418

Meditation helps us to become present, observe our thoughts and feelings, and befriend them. Meditating on a regular basis will lead to increased awareness of stress and anxiety.
Breathing exercises can impact your nervous system, especially your heart and is directly correlated to all parts of your emotional and physical well-being.
Yoga is the union of mind, body, and spirit. Hatha yoga can help us to increase mental clarity and flexibility.

Whatever your age or ability, any activity is better than none. Aim for moderate-intensity activity. Moderate activity will raise your heart rate and make you breathe faster and feel warmer. 75 minutes of vigorous activity is comparable to 150 minutes of moderate exercise.

A little progress each day adds up to big results. Consistency is more important than perfection.

Recognize and React

By increasing one’s ability to be present, mindful people can notice what is happening in their lives and adjust if necessary. When a situation occurs which requires changed behavior, mindfulness allows one to recognize the change that needs to take place instead of being surprised by it.

Ways to increase mindfulness are :

Prayer: Praying can be a great way to increase one’s awareness of what is going on in their life.

Meditation: Meditation helps us to become present, observe our thoughts and feelings, and befriend them. Meditating on a regular basis will lead to increased awareness of stress and anxiety. Breathing exercises can impact your nervous system, especially your heart and is directly correlated to all parts of your emotional and physical well-being.

Hiking: Hiking helps us to reduce stress by stepping away from technology, giving us time to reflect on our lives and the world around us, and gaining a greater appreciation for nature. Meditation while hiking allows one to be present and observe their thoughts while hiking. This is an effective way to put one’s stressful thoughts on hold so they do not consume them, leading them to a path of self-discovery.

Injury Prevention for Truck Drivers

Posted by deckerAdmin

Resistance training, pilates, and stretching are all great injury prevention methods for truck drivers to engage in on a daily basis.

The best part is that these methods help prevent injuries and improve the performance of truck drivers all at once.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends that truck drivers perform some form of regular exercise or resistance training to help prevent injury. Truck driving, much like any other physical job, can take a toll on the body if not properly taken care of. OSHA’s recommendation for preventing and reducing injuries is to exercise muscle groups with the same frequency as they are used for work activities. For example, if a driver spends his day sitting at the wheel, he should also spend some time exercising his hamstrings by stretching them or by doing lunges.

Additionally, OSHA recommends that truck drivers perform some form of aerobic exercise each day to help reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. Aerobic exercise can alleviate stress and improve the mental state of a driver.

Resistance training is another great way for truck drivers to prevent injury and improve their performance at work. Truck driving is an extremely physically demanding job, requiring that drivers spend hours sitting in one position. Resistance training helps build strength and improves muscle tone by engaging different muscle groups while sitting at the wheel. Performing resistance exercises also helps produce more testosterone and growth hormone.

Top 5 tips for drivers to optimize their health and proactively prevent an injury from occurring:

Perform a couple of warm-up exercises prior to getting into the truck. This can be as simple as a couple of small squats, turning your head side to side, and pinching the shoulder blades together a few times.

Use any breaks that you have to increase your physical activity for the day. Take a small walk when you can. Research proves that taking a small walk to break up periods of prolonged sitting will decrease fatigue.

Use a device to monitor physical activity – research shows us that using a device like a Garmin or Fit Bit can influence behavior change from a sedentary to a more active lifestyle.

Plan out your drinks throughout the day. Water is the best to remain hydrated, however, if you suspect that you are taking in too many sugar or caffeine-based drinks start to make a diary and write down every drink you have for one week. Look for patterns that include not enough water, and too much sugar.

If you are feeling back or neck pain throughout the day, make use of ‘Pause Exercises’. Examples of this are rolling the shoulders repeatedly or performing pelvic tilts when you are stopped at traffic lights.
Your spine and joints love movement, so try not to deny them that!

Ice or heat therapy for back and neck pain will help your body recover faster if you are physically overworked or working in a very hot climate.

What are some of the common work-related injuries truck drivers experience?

The most common truck driving injury is low back pain, which many researchers believe is due to a combination of repetitive bending, sitting, and reaching. Other small muscles associated with gripping (such as the arm and knee tendons), as well as the discs themselves can also become injured from constant pressure while driving.

The most dangerous form of driving is sleeping behind the wheel. Research has shown that these accidents happen more often than we would like to think, and as many as 13 Americans are killed every day while driving while asleep.
Truck driver’s hands and feet are always on the pedals, steering wheel, gas/brake pedals, horn button, or floor controls. They also use their arms to lift heavy loads, park their trucks, climb stairs and open their doors all day long.

How are truck drivers injured?

Research shows that drivers have a greater chance to fall off of their trucks, get thrown from their trucks, or bump into things than passengers.

Injuries and accidents are more common during the off-season or during inclement weather. The same factors that can deter a passenger from driving can also keep a truck driver from driving. The worst part about this is, there is no one else to take over.

Annually there are 1.17 million injuries that occur in the workplace. These injuries cost $215 billion per year in direct and indirect costs (also known as the cost of lost productivity).
The average worker spends $5,103 each year on health care related to work injuries. These direct costs are even higher when you include lost productivity, wage replacement, and non-pecuniary (pain and suffering) losses.
Although it is typically considered a leading cause of job-related injury, truck driving is not usually considered the leading cause of work-related injuries. It is more common among trucks that do a lot of heavy hauling or off-road driving rather than those that carry freight over long distances.

The most common types of injuries that occur among truck drivers are sprains and strains, cuts, back injuries, and fractures.

Types of injuries that result from accidents occurring while working in the truck include head injuries, concussions, back injuries (including spinal cord compression), fractures or breaks, organ damage, and death.

How can we prevent truck driver work-related injuries?

Before a truck driver starts his/her shift, make sure all of the vehicle’s doors and mirrors are locked.

Have your employees wear safety belts when operating heavy machinery such as tractors, backhoes or motor graders.
Truck drivers need to be aware of the risks associated with fatigue and sleep deprivation while driving. They also need to be aware of the dangers of texting while driving so that they can avoid distractions that lead to accidents.

Use seatbelts at all times when driving trucks and other heavy equipment.

Have a zero-tolerance policy for texting while driving—even if it is a quick message about an upcoming delivery or customer delivery.

Improve Health and Conditioning with Resistance Bands

Posted by deckerAdmin

One of the greatest advantages bands have over other dumbbells or other gym apparatuses is that they fit easily into small spaces, allowing you to continue your workout regimen on the road when you can’t get to a gym.
Resistance bands can be used for a variety of exercises that work most of the major muscle groups in your body.

The resistance bands have been used in physical therapy for many years and are also a great way to improve your health and conditioning.

While free weights are often seen as the best way to get stronger, using cables and resistance bands is a safer alternative that can help prevent injuries or pain. By changing the weight of a cable or band, you can still build muscle mass and reduce body fat percentage.

Tips for Bands and Cables

There are two kinds of resistance bands: tubes and looped bands. Both can be used to do the same exercises. The only thing that will change is the movement of the band itself, which implies an easier or harder exercise. Tube bands should be used for beginners who don’t have any previous experience with using resistance bands. Looped bands are suitable for users who have a higher level of fitness. What works great about those two kinds is that you can stack them on top of each other and they both attach to the cable machine, making it great for low impact exercises as well as high-intensity moves.

You can do the following exercises without any supplements or special equipment – just a little planning ahead. A resistance band only costs about $10, but it’s an investment that will pay off in improved strength and health. Decker Truck Line encourages healthy living and is now providing each professional driver here at Decker a resistance band to use for stretching, resistance training, and conditioning.

Health benefits of Resistance Exercise:

1) Increased immune system response.
2) Greater pain relief and reduced use of medication for chronic low back pain patients.
3) Increased cardiovascular capacity.
4) Stabilize post-surgery healing and reduce the need for reoperation.
5) Improved blood pressure control in prehypertensive and hypertensive.
6) Increased muscle strength and function in older adults.
7) Improve flexibility, range of motion, walking speed, and balance.
8) Reduced risk of falls by improving leg strength in older adults with osteoporosis.

Resistance Training effects on:

1) Muscle Increase- Muscle mass increased by nearly 10% in older women following a 12-week progressive resistance training program did not lead to loss of fat or bone mass.
2) Bone Mineral density- Resistance training increased bone mineral density in older women, an increase that was retained for at least 1 year.
3) Strength- 8-week resistance training increased lower body strength in healthy older men and women with low muscle strength.
4) Fat Loss- Resistance training reduces body fat in young overweight adults compared to aerobic exercise.
5) Metabolic Rate-Resistance training increases metabolic rate on average 24% for up to 3 days after resistance exercise.

Truck’d Up Chili

Posted by deckerAdmin

The Truck’d Up Cooking monthly cooking in the truck series featuring Thomas Remington as @BeardedFlatbedGuy

Thomas Remington is featured on this week’s podcast, https://anchor.fm/deckertruckline/episodes/38-Driver-Spotlight—Thomas-Remington-estjdo

Volume 1: Issue 1

This is an amazing recipe to either make-ahead of time (at home) or in the truck. The recipe is very flexible, allowing you to tailor it to your liking.

Why Chili?

Chili is an amazing food as it’s so versatile you can use it in so many ways. It can also be transformed in a multitude of ways.  The best part of making this recipe at home is you can package it into serving size portions and have it at the ready when you need it.

I will give the base recipe as well as ways to “doctor” it up. The base recipe is flexible enough to make this any way you like. Whether you like it mild and basic or hot and wild, this will work!

I cooked this recipe in my truck using an Instapot. However, at home in a stew pot works as well as a crockpot.

Here’s what you will need:

Ingredients for cooking truck'd up chili on the road in the truck or if you prefer to prep your meals before going over the road. Here are the basic ingredients, feel free to add more kick if you like.

If you like it with some kick, add some or all of the following:

If you like your chili thicker, add 1/4 cup Corn Meal the last hour of cooking.

To make this chili, it couldn’t be easier!

Combine all ingredients in a pot. Do not drain the cans. You want the liquid for flavor and to help thicken the chili. When you add the ground meat, pinch it into the pot so it will cook as the chili cooks and will add variable flavors to the chili. If cooking in a crockpot, set to low and cook 8 hours stirring occasionally.

      If cooking in an InstaPot, set to high on slow cook setting and cook 6-8 hours stirring occasionally. Using a cooking bag really helps with cleanup.

     If cooking on a stovetop, start on high heat until you reach a gentle boil. Then, reduce to a slow simmer for 4 hours.

    With all cooking methods, if you are adding Corn Meal to thicken, do this the last hour of cooking. Add a little bit at a time to prevent clumps. Stir well to incorporate completely. 

    You will notice, I did not call for any salt in this recipe. I feel it is not needed. However, if you feel it needs it, then, by all means, do so. The same goes for your favorite seasonings. This simply a great base to make into the best chili possible!!!

    I hope you enjoy this great recipe and happy eating!!

The best foods to eat for long-distance driving are fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. These foods will provide you with the necessary vitamins, minerals, and nutrients your body needs without adding on unwanted calories.

Instead, eat more foods that are:

Close to their natural state: fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables.

Less processed: whole grains.

Plain rather than flavored: unflavored milk, plain cottage cheese, plain yogurt. Choose low- or nonfat versions when available.

Healthier: olive oil instead of vegetable oil; vegetable oil instead of shortening; low trans-fat vegetable margarine over butter.

Better meat choices: poultry, fish and the leanest cuts of red meat.

More nutritiously prepared: broiled meats and raw, steamed or lightly microwaved vegetables. Avoid deep-frying foods and fatty sauces such as gravy, cheese, Ketchup and Ranch.

Close to their natural state: fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables.

Importance of Driver’s Health and Wellness

Posted by deckerAdmin

This last year has truly brought a huge awareness about our nation’s truck drivers.

The general public now recognizes the NEED we have for the hard-working individuals. However, there is still unknown, even within the industry, of the sacrifices and struggles that truck drivers have. 

There are many aspects of health and wellness. No matter who you are, I'm sure your struggling in one area or the other. It might be hard to admit for some of us, but it's nothing to be ashamed of. Here at Decker, we provide EAP through UNUM life balance, which is a confidential resource for you and your family to use.

One of the number one sacrifices is a driver’s health.

Let’s talk about your mental health. Anxiety and depression can have a drastic affect on your overal health.

7 Steps to help improve your mental health:

– Write in a daily gratitude journal. List atleast 3 things in your professional and personal life you appreciate.

– Stay positive. Look at the bright side of a situation.

– Make a plan for the day, for the year. What are your goals? Write them out. State how you are going to achieve them. 

– Take care of yourself with getting enough sleep, eating nutritious meals and getting in some physical exercise.

– Interact with others. When you are at a shipper or receiver, ask them how their day is going. Take a minute to socialize, even if it’s online. Connecting with others can help reduce stress.

– Laugh and smile. Do it. Make yourself smile. Think of something that makes you laugh or smile. Smiles are contagious. Give someone else a smile.

– Listen to music. celebrate your accomplishments. When you reach a goal, a milestone, or a destination, enjoy the experience.

Your mental health is important to your everyday life. It is important to take care of your mental well-being. Start by writing down 3 things in your daily life you appreciate. Stand positive, and have a goal for the day. Make a plan for the year, and list your goals down. Try to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Interact with your coworkers, and mingle with them whenever possible (of course, staying Covid compliant). 

Find a hobby you can do out on the road. It helps break up your day, and improve your well-being. You should also try to interact with others. Interacting with others can stimulate your cognitive functions and mental performance. Laughter is important for the resolution of physical stress, as it can boost one’s immune system. Keep listening to music that makes you feel better all day, every day.

Truckers are often mentally exhausted due to long periods of driving and heavy traffic congestion on major highways. Stress can be reduced by finding a hobby you are interested in.

It is vital for each of us to get enough sleep each night. Physical exercise is good for your cardiovascular health. Stretches help with mobility and injury prevention. Having proper nutrition will improve weight loss and overall health. Meal planning can help reduce stress and improve your nutrition. Use the tips to live a healthier, happier life.

There can also be a number of factors that initiate these struggles. One of the main factors, lack of sleep.

Sleep is vital!

In fact, Medical News Today was quoted, “Sleep is a vital, often neglected, component of every person’s overall health and well-being. Sleep is important because it enables the body to repair and be fit and ready for another day. Getting adequate rest may also help prevent excess weight gain, heart disease, and increased illness duration.”

For your health, your mental health, get some rest.

Call Unum at 800.854.1446  to speak to someone about anxiety or depression.

Does any of that sound familiar?   

According to Sleep Association, “Sleep deprivation can lead to many consequences. Without an adequate amount sleep, our minds and bodies are unable to perform at their peak. There are several potentially bad outcomes that are associated with inadequate sleep. Sleep influences the immune system, memory consolidation, attention, hunger, mood, response time, and many other body functions.” 

So what causes sleep deprivation?

Stress.

Stress can be caused by a number of things, such as work, family, relationships, or personal health. Stress often occurs because people feel that they have too many responsibilities and take on too much. It is important to manage your stress levels through simple lifestyle changes.

A large percentage of people report they are stressed out -all the time – even when they don’t think about their stresses.
