According to recent studies, America's long-haul truck drivers are twice as likely as other industrial workers to be at-risk. 61% reported struggles with obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol, and other conditions related to poor health. While Americans generally struggle to find health balances, the struggle amongst drivers has reached epidemic proportions. And, for a population so critical to the health of the American economy, these statistics are alarming. This episode takes a look at the impact such at risk behaviors have on individual lives and on the businesses they support. It follows the journeys of two drivers from unhealth to wellness and uncovers the benefits and costs to those journeys. With the help of some of the brightest minds on the matter, the program dives deeply into variety of programs and proposed solutions -- including the latest FMSCA proposed ruling on sleep and health. With so much on the line, no driver or fleet executive can afford to miss this program.

Transport Topics Tech Editor Seth Clevenger answers more questions regarding ELDs that didn't make it into the live broadcast.

If you are like the rest of the industry, you are clamoring to learn more about ELD compliance. First-time adopters need to understand the details of the rule, how it will work, and how it will affect operations; those who already use them want to know how things will change. To help, Transport Topics hosted a live program on March 16, 2016 to give every motor carrier executive a primer on ELD compliance. Cowan Systems Vice President and General Counsel, Herman Funk and Old Dominion Vice President of Safety and Compliance, Sam Faucette join Transport Topics Tech Editor Seth Clevenger to talk about the practicalities of adoption and the effects on fleet operations. The broadcast also features a special interview with South Shore Transportation Director of Maintenance and former TMC Chairman, Kevin Tomlinson. Call it a survival guide.

Today's carrier hires and replaces the equivalent of his entire driver force every year. And, with the retirement of the boomer generation, today's drivers are looking at their careers in a different light. What incentivizes this generation of commercial vehicle offers to take a job - and then stay with a company, has changed. And, everything from benefits packages and wages to lifestyle, equipment, and education are part of this new conversation. How is it playing out on both sides? What strategies are working for real fleets - and real drivers? We asked those those on the front lines. TCW President Dave Manning and UPS Freight Company Driver Henry Bruster join reporter Eugene Mulero at the LiveOnWeb table. The live broadcast also featured interviews with top recruiting executives and a private carrier marketing expert.
