Motor Carrier Operation Four

This Midwest-based refrigerated carrier operates in all 50 states with an irregular route truckload operation. The company has approximately 2,000 independent owner-operators and 400 inhouse corporate staff and shop support. They are in the beginning stages of developing a wellness program and currently provide limited health information through a company newsletter. Flu shots, health screenings and fitness membership reimbursements are available to all employees and operators. They are in the process of building a fitness center at the corporate headquarters. As with other trucking companies, reaching drivers is their biggest concern. This is reflected in their participation rates since nearly 20 percent of corporate staff and only one percent of drivers participate in their wellness programs.
