Testimonials

I lost 3 lbs this week by walking every day in the warehouse over my lunch break. I also increased my water intake.

Thank you so much! I have learned a lot of positive healthy tips. I have started applying them by drinking more water and exercising! Thanks, Rolling Strong!

The Rolling Strong wellness program was very helpful to me during my two-week training at the Greyhound school in Atlantic City. I found the meditation exercise beneficial. Closing my eyes and taking deep breaths really helped me clear my mind and relieve some stress! Meditating has also allowed me to realize what is important to me and recognize the reasons why I wanted to become a professional CDL driver with the Greyhound bus company.

Joseph has lost 12 pounds since October by decreasing his soda intake and walking each time the truck stops. He learned from Rolling Strong that 33 laps around the truck equals a mile. He tries to walk a mile each day. He’s believes that cutting way back on soda has been the most beneficial in his weight loss success. He continues to make goals and check in with the wellness coaches while at the terminal. Congrats to this new Covenant driver.

Johnny used to frequently stop at fast food restaurants for meals but he has since changed his dietary habits to include purchasing healthy microwavable meals and closely monitoring his sodium intake. Johnny has integrated a 30-minute walk into his daily routine and has been able to lose a few pounds in addition to lowering his total body fat by two and a half percent. He has increased the amount of water he drinks a day by two bottles resulting in his hydration level moving into a healthy range. Johnny says he doesn’t feel as tired during the day and is excited about his future progress. Keep up the great work!

John is an over-the-road driver for Don Hummer Trucking who has been working hard to make steady progress with his health. John lost five pounds in a month and a half which also resulted in a loss of body fat and a decrease in BMI. John used to drink at least one soda per day, but now he opts for water instead and has soda maybe once per week. He says he always parks as far out from truck stops as he can so that he can work more activity into his day. He also takes advantage of any free time, such as waiting for his trailer to be unloaded or loaded, to stand up and walk around to stretch out tight muscles and raise his heart rate. Finding time to be active can be very difficult in the truck driving industry, but John is an example of how it can be done! Great work!

I want to encourage other drivers to get out there and do what you have to do in order to be healthy. I urge you to make the decision to be healthy. Visit Rolling Strong, listen to their wellness coaches, and get the Fit System! You won’t regret it, I don’t. You only live once!

Joe signed up with Rolling Strong in November 2017. He is motivated to reduce his weight and improve his health. So far, he has lost 8.4 pounds by writing what he eats every day in a journal, using the FIT system on the road, and adding more steps to his daily routine. Now, he chooses egg whites and salmon for breakfast rather than McDonald’s, and substitutes tomatoes as a side dish at meals instead of potatoes. Drinking water all day has contributed to his success as well. He has a weekly phone call with a wellness coach that keeps him on track and motivated. Great job Joe, and keep up your success!

Rolling Strong has really helped me. I have been in the CDL training for Greyhound for a week and I’ve lost 5 pounds. I’m meditating more, and I’m drinking more water than I had been. I will continue to follow what I have learned. This is a great program!

I found the Rolling Strong W.E.L.L. about diet and making sure a driver stays hydrated beneficial.

James has lost 13 pounds and one inch in his waist size since beginning of October after enrolling in the Rolling Strong Wellness Program. Changes in his nutrition have contributed to his success. James includes salads with two hard-boiled eggs, two bananas a day and almonds into his daily routine. He has downsized his soft drinks to the 7.5oz. size and only drinks on occasion. His exercise routine includes resistance bands and weights while on the road and on home time he enjoys splitting wood. James has set a goal weight with the help of his Rolling Strong Coach and is committed to seeing this goal achieved.

Jackie has lost 3.5 pounds in one week with the help of Rolling Strong. She has made small changes to her diet that have helped her shed the pounds. Jackie is incorporating lean sources of protein and healthy vegetables into her daily routine. She has also been walking around the hotel each day during orientation to increase her daily steps and calorie reduction. She currently is making a list of healthy non-perishables to take in the truck with her while she goes out with her trainer. Congrats Jackie! Keep moving towards your goal weight.

Heather has lost 17.7 lbs with the help and encouragement of Rolling Strong. She is eating several smaller meals throughout the day instead of three large meals that are harder to burn off. Her diet has included apples and peanut butter, beans, soups, and lean sources of protein. She also uses her FIT system at least 5 times per week for 30 minutes. Heather drives at night so she exercises on the FIT system to revive her and get her through the rest of her shift. Keep up the great work and keeping pushing towards your goal!

Hanif is a driver who has been working hard to overcome the demands of being an over-the-road driver in order to make healthy lifestyle changes. Hanif came to the Rolling Strong Wellness Coach expressing concern for his frequent back pain and after a coaching session he walked away having learned some new stretches to help alleviate the pain. About three months later he came back to the wellness coach with news that his back pain is no longer an issue and he takes time to stretch daily. Hanif has also worked to cut back his soda consumption from one bottle per day to three bottles per week and he has started eating 2-3 apples or other pieces of fruit each day as a snack. Another very exciting change he has made is cutting back on cigarettes from one pack per day to only one pack per month as he works to eliminate cigarettes from his life completely. These are great shifts that show what can be achieved by putting in a little effort over time! Keep it up!

With encouragement from the Rolling Strong CDL wellness coaching team, I’ve stuck to the stretches my physical therapist ordered and I have worked out every day with the Fit System! Because of this routine, I’m gaining strength and mobility where previously I haven’t had much. My progress has been slowed due to my accident last year but thanks to the help and encouragement from Rolling Strong I’m in less pain and have much more mobility!

I have learned how to eat better foods that are lower in sodium to help control my blood pressure. My Rolling Strong coach encouraged me to see my doctor to get my blood pressure under control.

The Rolling Strong wellness program educated me on the importance of increasing my physical activity. During my time at the Greyhound training school, I set a wellness goal to consistently workout every day. The Rolling Strong W.E.L.L. message taught me that eating healthier foods is definitely the way to go as I get older. Creating these good habits now will help with weight control as well as keeping my blood pressure low.

With the help of a Rolling Strong CDL wellness coach, Eddie has lowered his blood pressure! He checks in each week with the local health coach on-site for biometric readings, advice, and encouragement. Eddie has reduced his coffee intake from six cups a day to only three cups and his main source of protein is fish. He walks every day to decrease stress and in turn this has helped lower his blood pressure. Congrats, Eddie, for a job well done!

The information shared during the wellness presentation was very helpful and educational for me. Our coach emphasized the importance of keeping drivers safe and well. This helped me realize I have to stop some of the poor eating habits I have. Thank you Rolling Strong

David used to drink one NOS energy drink each day along with a cup of black coffee. He noticed the added sugars display and decided to talk with a Rolling Strong CDL wellness coach about how much sugar his favorite energy drinks contain. After speaking with a coach, David decided to cut out his daily energy drink in order to work on losing weight and improve his hydration. Good job, David!
