WHY HEALTH INSURANCE FOR TRUCKERS IS SO IMPORTANT
Studies show that truck drivers are at greater risk for certain types of illness, disease, and injury as compared to employees in other types of industries. Truckers have a higher risk for health conditions related to smoking, sitting for long periods of time without exercise, working long hours, and eating an unhealthy diet. And, of course, they are more prone to work-related accidents—especially traffic accidents. Risks include hernia and hemorrhoid problems, back problems, obesity, heart disease, lung disease, cancer, bodily injury, and even death.
