One of the biggest challenges in trucking isn’t just traffic or deadlines — it’s finding ways to stay close to the people who matter most. Long hours and miles apart don’t have to mean distance in your relationships. Here are a few tips to keep family connections strong while you’re on the road: ✅ Schedule quality time: Plan video calls, bedtime stories, or weekend activities in advance so loved ones know they’re a priority. ✅ Share the journey: Send photos of places you visit or record short messages to keep family involved in your adventures. ✅ Maximize home days: Be intentional — put phones aside, enjoy meals together, or plan a simple outing when you’re off. ✅ Create traditions: Little rituals (like Friday check-ins or “welcome home” dinners) give kids and partners something to look forward to. ✅ Support system: Encourage your family to connect with other trucking families for encouragement and ideas. 💬 How do you make family time work with your schedule?

Life on the road doesn’t have to mean fast food at every stop. Healthy eating keeps you alert, energized, and safe, and it’s 100% possible — even behind the wheel of a big rig! Here are a few simple strategies for truckers who want to stay strong and focused: ✅ Plan ahead: Stock your cab with ready-to-go options like fruit, nuts, yogurt, cheese sticks, or pre-cut veggies.✅ Hydrate smart: Keep a refillable water bottle handy and limit sugary drinks.✅ Balance your meals: Aim for lean protein, whole grains, and colorful veggies at every stop.✅ Watch portions: Eating slowly helps you know when you’re full (and avoids that post-meal slump).✅ Move when you stop: A quick stretch or short walk at rest breaks helps digestion and keeps your body limber. 💬 What’s YOUR go-to healthy snack or meal on the road?
