Transfix Announces Partnership With The Trucking Fitness Company

Partnership will provide truck drivers across the country access to personalized workouts and nutritional recommendations via app

 Transfix Inc. digital freight platform, announced a new partnership with The Trucking Fitness Company (TFC) to encourage the best possible health and livelihood for drivers across the country.

Truck drivers live a unique lifestyle, filled with a significant number of constraints that make it difficult to prioritize personal health. Transfix understands the challenges that come with being on the road and has made it their priority to support the trucking community’s health and wellness this year. These constraints have only been magnified due to the bottleneck supply chain issues brought on by the pandemic.

“Drivers play a crucial role in our supply chain, their overall health and well-being is important to us and we always want them to feel their best,” said Guy Byars, Senior Vice President, Carrier Growth, Transfix. “A key initiative for our company this year is to continue our investment in the trucking community’s health and wellness, which is why partnering with The Trucking Fitness Company was a no-brainer for us. We’re confident that this partnership will continue to make a positive difference and improve the community’s quality of life.”

By joining forces with TFC, Transfix will provide access to discounted memberships designed to help kickstart drivers’ health and wellness journey with the Trucking Fitness Company starting March 1, 2022. This will provide drivers access to daily personalized workouts via the TFC app that takes into account their individual current fitness level. The workouts can be done inside the truck, outside of the truck, or even at home. In addition, TFC provides a habit-based nutrition coach that partners with the drivers to help them lose weight and gain energy, by identifying healthier food options on the road for any food outlet, which is just one more way they’re striving to improve drivers’ overall health.

“TFC is on a mission to help as many truck drivers as possible with their health and wellness,” said Mark Manera, Founder, The Trucking Fitness Company. “I started the company following my physical therapy experience and seeing first hand the toll a lifetime of truck driving can do to the body. Working with Transfix, a leader in the freight space, will allow our fitness and nutrition app to get into the hands of hundreds of truck drivers that offer them a user-friendly solution to staying healthy on the road.”

Transfix sought out this partnership following a survey that was completed during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week 2021 (NTDAW). They asked drivers what’s holding them back from exercising on the road and 24 percent of drivers said they don’t have time, 19 percent claimed they don’t have the right equipment, and 45 percent said they don’t have either. In addition, 74 percent of Transfix’s network of drivers believe there are not enough healthy food options on the road. Building on the momentum from NTDAW, this partnership with TFC will provide truck drivers with the tools to work out more and eat healthier.

Transfix’s digital freight platform – powered by its proprietary technology, AI, and automation and underpinned with world-class operations – is transforming the traditional and digital freight sector, bringing together the world’s best shippers and carriers, and delivering a transparent, trusted, and sustainable freight ecosystem.

As announced on September 21, 2021, Transfix has entered into a definitive business combination agreement with G Squared Ascend I Inc. (NYSE: GSQD), a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by affiliates of G Squared, that is expected to result in Transfix becoming a publicly listed company. Completion of the business combination is subject to customary closing conditions.
