Keep in mind, these are just a few of our favourite accounts, and they are not listed in any particular order. Leave us a comment and let us know what your favourite sources of fitness for duty related information are.

1. Healthy Trucker

If you work in the trucking industry, you have likely heard of this health-conscious organization,  through their Healthy Fleet Challenge, speaking engagements, or their Thank a Trucker programs.

Healthy Trucker is a health and wellness solution designed specifically for the trucking industry. They provide wellness resources, education, and challenges to drivers, Owner Operators, and office staff across the industry.

We love following Healthy Trucker online because of their constant influx of original and educational content, specifically those written and produced by nutritionist Andrea Morely. Don’t let the name fool you – many of their healthy practices can be incorporated in to any lifestyle, and not just that of a trucker. If you need a fitness pal, motivation to start eating healthier, or ideas on what to eat on the road be sure to give Healthy Trucker a follow!

MindWell is a mental health training and wellbeing platform that equips people, teams, and organizations with the tools to perform at their best. If you like learning new ways to relax, eat healthier, and care for your mental and physical health, this one's for you!

We were fortunate enough to have Dr. Geoff Soloway, the founder of Mindwell, present at the 2020 Fitness for Duty Summit. After a year of following them on social media, it felt like a no-brainer to include them in this list.

We love MindWell’s content online because it is relatable, easy to digest and they offer a lot of free resources for those of us trying to master our journey to mindfulness. New to mindfulness? Even more, reason to give MindWell a follow!
