Life on the road is tough. Long hours behind the wheel, limited access to healthy food, and little time or space for exercise make it challenging for truckers to stay healthy and manage their weight. We get it — the demands of the job often leave personal wellness on the back burner.
That’s why we launched Big Weight, Big Freight — a wellness initiative from the On The Clock family, dedicated to supporting truck drivers everywhere in making healthier choices, losing weight, and staying active — all while keeping the freight moving.
What Is Big Weight, Big Freight?
This isn’t just another health fad. It’s a community and a movement focused on practical, realistic ways for truckers to improve their health without sacrificing their livelihood. They share tips on nutrition, simple workouts that fit into your busy schedule, inspiring stories from drivers who’ve made positive changes, and expert advice tailored specifically for life on the road.
