LOUISVILLE,
Ky. –
The entire trucking industry is invited to join their fellow drivers, along
with The Trucking Solutions Group and Bob Perry, “The Trucker Trainer”, for the
Mid America Trucking Show Health Awareness Walk at 8 a.m. Saturday, April 2,
2011 at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, KY. The MATS Driver Health
Awareness Walk is a fun, non-competitive 1.5 mile course for anyone in the
trucking industry who is thinking about getting fit, wanting to stay healthy or
looking for tips to enhance their workouts.
The
MATS Driver Health Awareness Walk is celebrating its second year as the first
of its kind fitness event for the trucking industry. There is no cost, but
registration is required. Registrants will receive walk packets, while supplies
last, with health information and giveaways. Walkers will meet at the Kentucky
International Convention Center where they can also attend a warm-up and a
cool-down with Bob Perry, the “Trucker Trainer.” In order to accommodate all
walkers, participants can choose the distance of their choice up to 1.5 miles.
“This
is a plea from driver to driver to get outside of your truck and work towards a
healthier lifestyle,” said Linda Caffee, professional driver and chairman of
the Trucking Solutions Group Driver Health Council. “We’re all in this
together! This walk provides everyone with the opportunity to receive support
from your fellow drivers and get on the road to better health.”
Registration
is available online at www.roadsidemed.com
or www.healthytruck.org and on March
31 – April 1 at the Roadside Medical Clinic + Lab, Booth #67028 in the Driver
Recruitment & Wellness Center during the Mid America Trucking Show.
The
walk is sponsored by the Trucking Solutions Group and Roadside Medical Clinic +
Lab with special thanks to the Mid America Trucking Show. The Trucking
Solutions Group, along with its partner Roadside Medical Clinic + Lab are
innovators in the trucking industry, working towards making personal health and
fitness a bigger concern for all truckers.
“Being
drivers ourselves, the Trucking Solutions Group realizes how hard it is to
begin an exercise program,” Caffee said. “The hardest step of any exercise program
is the first. Whether you are a marathon runner or someone who wants to take
that first step we invite you to join us. Together we can become healthier, one
driver at a time.”
