Highway to Health Competition

Highway to Health Competition

Rolling Strong and Trucker Path announced a Highway To Health trucker health and wellness competition, scheduled to run from January 22 to February 20.

“Taking part in the Highway To Health competition is a great way for drivers to improve their wellness,” said Stephen Kane, president of Rolling Strong. “We are pleased that Trucker Path opened this event to its million users so together we can help truck drivers lead healthier lifestyles.”

The Highway to Health virtual trucker fitness competition is driven by the Rolling Strong platform’s powerful gamification capabilities. Participants accumulate points by logging nutrition, fitness, hydration, sleep, and coaching sessions in the Rolling Strong mobile app, and compete against others for a chance to win cash and prizes.

The competition and the Rolling Strong app is geared to meet the needs of the person who is just starting their wellness journey as well as the seasoned athlete. Participants can manually log their information or have smart devices automatically feed the information into the app. “We have focused on making wellness accessible to all,” said Kane.

“Joining forces with Rolling Strong reflects our shared concern for truck driver wellness,” said Steven Lopez, vice president of business development at Trucker Path. “We both believe in helping drivers adopt healthy behaviors by learning how to improve their nutrition and fitness and to do so in an easy and enjoyable way on two of the industry’s most effective mobile apps for truckers.”

She's trainer at Stevens Transport and a lease purchase driver. She's been in the industry for more than 2 years now and she loves what she does. She's also an electronic junkie. Let's get to know more about Nikki and her life in trucking. <h2></h2> <h3></h3> <h3><strong>What made you decide to be a trucker?</strong></h3> I was driving 2 hours to the Post office and 2 hours home plus 4-6 hrs delivery Mail. All that driving made me think of driving trucks. <h2></h2> [img src="https://truckerpath.com/uploads/2021/01/202101-TS-Nikki-Mathews-BLOG3.jpg" alt=""] <h2></h2> <h3><strong>In the years that you have been driving, what are the significant changes that you've noticed in the trucking industry?</strong></h3> More women are coming out and that some of the older generation of Truckers doesn't respect women out here on the road at all. <h2></h2> <h3><strong>Any times when you get lonely while driving? How do you deal with it?</strong></h3> Yeah there are times of loneliness. I just use that time to meditate and relax my mind just a bit. I use that as my "Me time". <h2></h2> [img src="https://truckerpath.com/uploads/2021/01/202101-TS-Nikki-Mathews-BLOG2.jpg" alt=""] <h2></h2> <h2></h2> <h3><strong>What made you start a Youtube Channel? </strong></h3> I didn't see that many videos encouraging women Truckers to come out in the industry and not many good videos of the company I work for. <h2></h2> <h3><strong>What are your trucking pet peeves? </strong></h3> Truckers leaving pee bottles and trash on the ground at truck stop. Not cleaning behind themselves. <h2></h2> [img src="https://truckerpath.com/uploads/2021/01/202101-TS-Nikki-Mathews-BLOG4.jpg" alt=""] <h2></h2> <h3><strong>What keeps you busy nowadays? How did the current Covid-19 situation affect your trucking life? </strong></h3> My 5 year old keeps me busy because he is growing and needs things so I stay out to provide for him and my fur babies. Covid-19 affect my trucking life by wearing masks all the time but I understand why I need it. Not able to sit down for lunch or dinner inside a restaurant. So I started cooking meals in my truck. <h2></h2> <h3><strong>What are your future career plans? Would you continue to be a trucker? Any plans on being an instructor? </strong></h3> My future plan is to create me a small fleet of trucks under my business name. I will continue drive for a while until my fleet is established. I am currently a trainer. I haven't thought about being an instructor just yet. <h2></h2> <h3><strong>Favorite Truckstop? Truckstop Food? Favorite truck model?</strong></h3> Pilot / Flying J is my favorite truck stop. Chicken wings and pizza at Pilot / Flying J. My favorite model of course is the Freightliner Cascadia. <h2></h2> <h3><strong>What are your must haves or the things that you bring with you when on the road?</strong></h3> God, my sanity, food, good music clothes, personal hygiene items, sometimes my fur baby, all trucker tools, and my drone. <h2></h2> <h3><strong>What's your favorite scenic route?</strong></h3> Going through I-70 through Utah to Colorado to see Aspen. So beautiful there. I just think how the western got from one point to the next point. <h2></h2> <h3><strong>We're glad that you use the Trucker Path app on your day to day trucking. What features do you enjoy the most?</strong></h3> My fave feature of <a href="https://sixdays.page.link/tpfb">Trucker Path</a> is that one it stay open while I'm driving so I don't have to stop and open it to see where I'm going. Then HOS part when you're routing. <h2></h2> <h3><strong>What are some tips that you would like to share for aspiring women truckers? </strong></h3> Don't let no one tell you what you can't do. If you wanna come out and drive trucks then do it. But don't let no one tell you any difference. Keep your head up. Don't let men bully you. <h2></h2> <h3><strong>Where can people watch your videos on Youtube?</strong></h3> They can view my videos on my Youtube Channel, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgTa_9fKQR2_li03wAMZnqQ">OTR Diva</a>. <h2></h2> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P3DJKuJ85sM" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> <h2></h2> Hope you guys enjoy! <h2></h2> <h2></h2> <h4>By Aldous Aldwin</h4> <h3></h3> <h3></h3>
