What is Trucking Wellness?
A primary healthcare delivery programme dedicated to the wellness of those employed in the Road Freight and Logistics Industry.

Background
The Trucking Wellness Programme was launched by the Road Freight Industry in 1999 to create HIV, AIDS and STI awareness amongst long-distance truck drivers, commercial sex workers and the vulnerable communities around truck stops.

The first priority is the prevention of diseases and the enhancement of healthy lifestyles. To this end, the 21 roadside Wellness Centres are staffed by registered nurses and counsellors who provide health information and holistic primary health care services to drivers, their partners, community members and commercial sex-workers. Aimed at truck drivers and women at risk, the Wellness Centres operate mostly at night.

Trucking Wellness also brings wellness to the workplace through a fleet of Mobile Wellness Centres providing onsite access to onsite health screening at the workplace of industry businesses at no cost to the business.
