Driving a truck for lonely and longer routes can take a toll on
physical and mental health of a driver. Truck driving profession is not
one of the healthiest – irregular sleep routine, lack of exercise,
greasy food at rest stops, and being away from family – make it
difficult for a driver. Here are a few tips to extend your career as a
truck driver, while staying healthy and safe.
Power naps:
According to researchers and scientists, a nap should be of at least 20
minutes long, in order to give the body and mind a little rest. Before
getting ready for a longer drive, take an interval. Even if you sleep
for less than an hour, your body will feel refreshed, and you will be
capable to drive for a little longer.
Healthy meals: Most rest
stops and drive-thru serve foods that are rich in sugar and fats, not a
very healthy combination for truck drivers. It is always better to pack
some healthy meal options like fruits, vegetables with you. If possible,
you can also spend in a small stove and a crockpot, and cook your own
meals. You may find a great chef within you!
Supplements: See a
physician, and ask them to prescribe best vitamin supplements for you.
When you cannot have a completely nutritional meal, these vitamin
supplements will take care of any insufficiency. Make sure to take these
vitamins only after consulting with a professional doctor.
Make
a quick stop: Most accidents on the road caused when the driver keeps
driving even when they are tired. Do not execute this mistake. Your life
is more important. If you are feeling tired, pull over, get down from
your cabin, stretch your legs, and grab some air. It will help you in
feeling carefree.
Stay hydrated: Contrary to the beliefs, water
keeps you more free than any other drink. Sure caffeine will make you
feel better, but once the effect wears off, it will leave you more
tensed. Water, coconut water, unsweetened fruit juices are better for
your body than any other drinks.
Music: Listening to your
favorite music in higher volumes can actually make you more attentive
and alert. It works for driving just as it works for exercising; it
makes a person focused and motivated.
Fresh Air: If you cannot
make a stop, and are feeling tired, open the window and let some fresh
air in and it will give you the much needed boost.
Audiobooks:
If there is a subject that attracts you, find an audiobook on it, and
listen to it while driving. It will keep your mind committed in
something interesting, and you won’t feel bored. Also, listening to
someone else talk to you will help with isolation.
These are
just a few hints that will help you in keeping your spirits high, and
take on that long journey. Keeping your mind busy and your body rested
will ensure that you excel and enjoy your job, and also stay safe.
