Prime Inc. is challenging fleets across America to compete in its third annual “Fittest Trucker in America” competition. Fleets can send their most physically fit male and female drivers to compete August 29 in Springfield, Mo.
“There is an obesity epidemic leading to premature death in the trucking industry, and as a consequence, helping drivers lose weight has grown in popularity,” said Siphiwe Baleka, Prime’s driver health and fitness coach.
Baleka conceived of the competition to recognize drivers who are successfully maintaining healthy lifestyles behind the wheel.
“There are weight-loss competitions for drivers but nothing to showcase those drivers who are managing to maintain very high levels of fitness while living on the road,” he said. “This competition is designed to identify who is the fittest truck driver in America.”
Prime is holding 30 spots in its competition for drivers from other carriers with the aim of attracting participants from across the country.
“What fleet wouldn’t be proud to boast it has the fittest truck driver in America?” Baleka asked.
