• Abstract:
  In May 1997, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) began a research project to design, develop, and evaluate a model truck and bus driver wellness program. This wellness program was developed to provide a resource for addressing truck and bus industry challenges in the area of driver safety, performance, job satisfaction, and industry competition. The program is intended to provide strategies to give drivers opportunities for improved health, benefitting the individual, the company, and the industry. The program had five primary research tasks. Tasks 1 and 2 consisted of a review of literature regarding commercial motor vehicle driver health and current wellness programs, and a draft core wellness program for FMCSA. Tasks 3, 4, and 5 involved the development of the core wellness program, the pilot test and evaluation of the program, and the development of a marketing plan.
