Testimonials

I would like to thank our Rolling Strong CDL wellness coach for her words of empathy and support. I had become stressed and overwhelmed after the first week of training at the Greyhound school. I am really looking forward to working with my coach in the future in order to support my current diet and increase my energy levels. It is my goal to be able to balance my work and personal life for a healthy total lifestyle!

Since May 2017, Cedrick has lost two pounds while driving on the road. This is a victory for any new driver starting out and on the extra board. Many new drivers have a tendency to take advantage of all the free “riches” of the road that are offered when starting out…but not Cedrick! He was informed by a Rolling Strong CDL wellness coach at orientation about healthy snacks that he can enjoy and pack in his cooler to help keep his weight down. Congrats, Cedrick, and keep Rolling Strong!

After hearing about the Rolling Strong Wellness Program during orientation, Cedric enrolled immediately in the program. He wanted to focus on routinely working out and eating right to lose weight. Planning a cardio program 3-4 days a week, and following up with weights is just one way he has achieved success. “I choose grilled fish and vegetables over fried garbage and I kill about a gallon of water daily.” All these factors have led Cedric to lose 8 pounds and 1 inch from his waist in 5 weeks. “I want to inspire unhealthy drivers to push away from the table and get healthy”. Great job Cedric your words and actions will encourage others.

The Rolling Strong W.E.L.L. message was extremely beneficial to me. I was completely unaware of the amount of water that I needed to consume in a day. Our CDL wellness coach informed me of the importance of drinking half my body weight in ounces of water per day.

I often have headaches and had no idea that it could possibly be due to being dehydrated. I purchased alkaline water during my two-week training and I am more mindful of the amount of water I drink daily. Thanks, Rolling Strong, for educating me on how to remain both safe and well throughout my career at Greyhound!

I lost three pounds this week by getting back to walking every day, increasing my water, vegetables, and fruits. I want to focus on really getting healthy and doing my health check with the Rolling Strong Wellness Coach every week.

I lost 10 pounds in 2 months by eating smaller portions, eating fruits and veggies, and starting to exercise.

Brian signed up for the “October No Candy Pledge”, hosted by the CDL wellness coach at Don Hummer Trucking, and as a result he didn’t eat candy for the entire month! He lost almost 10 pounds during October and has way more energy and a heightened motivation to exercise. Brian has started using his FIT System resistance bands every other day when he doesn’t get exercise from unpacking loads. These are all great lifestyle changes, Brian, keep them up!

Anthony went from a 3-month DOT card to a 1-year medical card with the help of Rolling Strong! He was struggling with his blood pressure and was taking medication. Anthony’s coach encouraged him to re-visit his doctor who made an adjustment in his medication which allowed him to increase his medical card. After the medication change, Anthony continues to work on making adjustments to his diet and lifestyle in order to help his blood pressure.

Since the W.E.L.L. talk I’ve started increasing my daily water intake and have been making healthier snack choices.

With some much-needed encouragement from the Rolling Strong team, I’ve managed to cut back on my cigarette habit! It’s not an easy habit to break and I know the Rolling Strong wellness coaches are always there to help me when I need them.

I found all the information given by our Rolling Strong Coach to be very informative.

Thank you, Rolling Strong! I learned a lot of positive, healthy tips during the W.E.L.L. presentation. I have started drinking more water and I am adding more fruits and vegetables to my daily diet.

Since starting with my Rolling Strong health coach, I’ve lost three and a half inches in my waist! I’ve accomplished this by beginning and sticking with an exercise program, watching portion sizes and quality of my food, and drinking lots of water every day. The support of my Rolling Strong health coach is incredibly helpful in reaching my goals.

Since she began working with Rolling Strong, Ashley has lost 21 pounds and seven inches. She feels great and is excited to be on her way to reaching her goal weight. “I want to give a big thanks to my coach, Melanie, for her guidance and encouragement. Thank you, Rolling Strong!”

William immediately enrolled in the Rolling Strong Wellness Program after seeing a presentation during orientation in December of 2017. After one session of coaching, William had the push he needed to change. He set goals to reduce his blood pressure by losing weight, exercising, and eating healthier. His new daily routine includes walking 1.5 miles, tracking his steps on his phone, using elastic resistance bands, and doing steps-ups, sit-ups, push-ups and squats. He has increased his water intake from none to at least 5 water bottles, and reduced his coffee intake. Switching from a big dinner to a big breakfast instead, and eating healthy snacks is now the routine. His latest results showed that he has reduced his weight by 9 pounds, lowered his systolic blood pressure by 35 points, and lowered his diastolic by 2. After seeing such great results he is even more motivated to reach his ultimate goal, and looks forward to checking in with the Rolling Strong coach. Great job and keep it up, William!

Wayne has been a Greyhound driver for 52 years come this May. He has seen and been through lots of changes throughout the years. He has maintained a good weight and is still going strong. He limits fast food and chooses things like tuna sandwiches and low fat milk while out on the road. He also checks in with the Rolling Strong CDL Wellness coach while at the terminal to make sure everything is going well. Rolling Strong wants to highlight this great driver for all his years of service!

Our Rolling Strong coach was very helpful in providing information to help me make a life change to better my health. I look forward to working with her in the future. I am going to exercise more and meditate. This is a very good program to have for drivers. Greyhound made an excellent decision to add the Rolling Strong program to our training. Thanks Rolling Strong!

The meditation practice was extremely beneficial. It’s great that someone cares enough about drivers to make sure we are healthy and practicing good eating and exercise habits. Thank you Coach Norie!

As a driver, this program was a wake-up call for myself and hopefully every driver. Our office is our cockpit. We sit for at least 8 hours a day and sometimes longer! By eating healthy you are doing yourself a favor. I find the food chart that was given to us by our wellness coach to be super helpful. I intend to begin eating healthier and use the Rolling Strong coaching program as my support system.

After the W.E.L.L presentation, I found it beneficial to know that eating turkey products could actually cause me to feel fatigued. This is something I will try to avoid eating before driving. Thank you Rolling Strong!

During the Rolling Strong W.E.L.L talk, our Wellness Coach gave us a list of helpful tools to use throughout our Greyhound school training. Coming into this was new for me; I had never driven a bus before. I had never experienced such intense training like the training at the Greyhound school. Through it all, I used my meditation tools daily to reduce my stress which helped me along the way. Thanks Rolling Strong!

The Rolling Strong W.E.L.L talk reminded me to take care of my body with the proper foods and beverages. It also taught me to be sure I am well rested before beginning our work day.

The Rolling Strong program gave me information that helped me realize the importance of good health. I learned that not eating healthy can also affect my mental well-being as well as my physical health. Having good health plays a big part in the career I am about to take on. Thank you, Rolling Strong, for providing me with valuable information.

Ryan worked with Rolling Strong Wellness Coach Kasey to lower his blood pressure. After discussing his usual diet with his coach, he decided to cut back on the coconut oil he was using to cook his dinner each night. As a result, he was able to lower his systolic blood pressure by 13 points! Great job, Ryan! Small changes can produce big results!

Ron worked with CDL Rolling Strong Wellness Coach Kasey to find ways to relieve his persistent muscle stiffness. Coach Kasey showed Ron some stretches he can do daily to help him with lower back and neck stiffness. Ron started implementing 5-10 minutes of stretching into his morning routine. He says, “I feel like I can move. I’m not so stiff and sore every day anymore.” Great work Ron, way to set aside time each day for your well-being!

Slow and steady wins the race. Robin has been consistently checked in with Rolling Strong to make small changes to help with weight loss. She has lost 3 lbs since the first part of November 2017. She has incorporated a protein shake (Premier Protein) into her daily diet and walks around the bus each time it stops. Her weight loss has been slow but she has created new manageable lifestyle habits that she is able to maintain while driving out on the road. Congrats.

Ricky has lost 15 pounds by walking more and drinking water instead of sodas. He is continuing to work with Rolling Strong CDL Wellness coaches in order to achieve his goal of losing a total of 75 pounds this year. He is well on his way!

The information I received from the Rolling Strong wellness program was very helpful. I learned very important things relating to nutrition and exercise to take better care of my health in order to keep my body in good condition. Thank you Rolling Strong

I found the Rolling Strong wellness program to be very beneficial. I had no idea that certain foods could make me sleepy. The shopping list our coach gave us will go on my refrigerator door. Thank you Rolling Strong!

I really appreciate our Rolling Strong coach! The program suggestions gave me hope to find my waist again. Our coach genuinely cares about me, even when I don’t. Thank you, Rolling Strong, for putting me on the path to “Rolling Strong.”
