Did the Schendier Safety Director approve this message? Trailers carry a wide range of cargo including hazardous. Even after a trailer is swept out, the dust and residue that remains can cause health issues if inhaled. Some chemicals in the dust may appear safe until moisture is introduced, like sweat on skin during exercise. Add the heat that builds up inside a trailer, nails sticking out from floor boards, sharp metal burrs on the strap support rails and you have a receipe for disaster. Another concern is that the driver exercising would be out of sight (out of mind). If the exercising driver was overtaken by heat, fumes in trailer, or by the sheer act of exercising, no one would be able to assist the driver. There is also the mechanical issues involved with trailer fitness. Doors need to be open before exercise, and then need to be closed after exercise. I havent been at an OC where empty trailers are spaced every third parking space. In cab exercise, and exercise that keeps you near the front of the tractor would be a safer option when a fitness center is not available. Suggestion for the future of Schneider fitness division: Each OC to have a fitness track around the permimeter of the facilities that drivers could goto and walk safetly for what ever distance they desire. Add stretching circuit posts every so often like they have in city parks, and drivers can walk and stretch while staying safe. Schneider has done a fantastic job adding ATLAS, stretching cards drivers can pick up at OC and keep on them in truck, Training manuals that address fitness, healthy food alternatives at OC, and OC fitness rooms. More can be done to improve driver health and wellness which translates to less injuries, better retention, and increased profits. Lets keep our drivers out of the trailers! We are Schenider!

I sure do like the thought of us drivers exercising but,,, have you looked inside of the cabs lately?. These guys can barely crawl up into the cab ; how in the world would they ever get on the back of the trailer? These exercises would have to take place near the buffet bar.
It’s not so much of warming the muscle, but rather waking the muscles up before work. Will stretches create heat, yes in a micro sense. Treat muscles like rubber bands. A cold one will break faster than a warmed up one.
Please forgive me,, all jokes aside,. We need to take this seriously. But there's got to be a better place . we shod start by 15 min walks around the truck parking lot before Pre Trip and 15 min after Post trips. Stay safe my brothers and sisters. Peace.

Great ideas! Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you!
awesome video
Thanks!
Sir . I would like to see a full video, with almost no conversation please
I sure do like the thought of us drivers exercising but,,, have you looked inside of the cabs lately?. These guys can barely crawl up into the cab ; how in the world would they ever get on the back of the trailer? These exercises would have to take place near the buffet bar.
Cheers, thanks for this video. 👍🏽🤙🏽
Glad you enjoyed it!
Legal gostei muito, isso é sem duvida importante parabens pelo video.
I always hear that stretching warms up muscles. How so???

🏋🏽♀️🔥
that lady on the video could've joined in on the workouts with the guy instead of just standing there being all awkward...
I thought she was annoying! It would have been cool to have a drill sergeant or a powerlifter doing the interview
She did her best, without her he would have just talked all through, she made him put some action in
BLSNGS
I'd work out with HER
I know you would you little devil😁She's so pretty🙂
