The U.S. DOT requires interstate CMV drivers with less than one year of experience and a required CDL to receive training on four topics, one of which is Driver Wellness. Driving a large truck in traffic with a tight schedule is a stressful job, which is why it is critical for these drivers to take care of themselves mentally and physically. This course discusses ways that CMV drivers can pursue and maintain wellness in order to pass the DOT physical exam, stay safe on the job, and live a long healthy life. It discusses the importance of sleep, key measures of health (blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and weight), alcohol and drug use, and stress management.
