Trucking Wellness Unclaimed

To delve into further detail regarding the life of a truck driver, each day involves incredibly demanding hours, travelling long distances and prolonged time away from home and loved ones. Additionally, the trucking industry, which is faced with the challenges of rising fuel costs, safety and constant driver shortages, now faces an even deadlier threat from the impact of HIV/AIDS. Loneliness has encouraged many drivers, married or single, to find comfort on the side of the road- generally in the arms of a sex worker. The consequences are devastating, with STD’s and HIV/AIDS being rapidly spread from one truck stop to another. This is where the Trucking Wellness initiative comes in.
