America’s Road Team Captures Healthy Trucker Challenge

After four days, and more than 1.1 million steps, a team of America’s Road Team Captains won the American Trucking Associations Healthy Trucker Challenge at the ATA Management Conference & Exhibition.

“This was a great way to promote healthy habits and get the competitive juices flowing while here at MC&E,” said Road Team Captain Eddie Weeks, a professional driver with AAA Cooper, who took a challenge-topping 102,472 steps.

All told, ATA’s leadership, the Road Team and attendees walked, jogged or ran 1,136,738 steps – equating to 569 miles and burning an estimated 52,290 calories. And the Road Team team took an average of 16,991 steps per day to win the challenge.

The America’s Road Team, sponsored by Volvo Trucks, is a national public outreach program led by a small group of professional truck drivers who share superior driving skills, remarkable safety records and a strong desire to spread the word about safety on the highway.
