Rolling Strong keeps drivers supplied with vital PPE

Jun 09, 2020

Rolling Strong, the provider of health and wellness programs for transportation companies and their drivers, as well as owner-operators, today announced that its online store is now offering reasonably priced Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for fleets and drivers.

“The COVID-19 crisis has added a new dimension to health and wellness for the nation’s fleets and their drivers, who remain on the front lines hauling and delivering essential goods and supplies,” said Stephen Kane, president of Rolling Strong. “Statistically, professional drivers have higher rates of diabetes, heart disease and obesity, they have challenges getting the proper amount of rest, exercise and nutrition, and they travel far more miles than anyone else. All of that can make it more difficult to battle the Coronavirus, so offering Personal Protective Equipment at reasonable prices is an important part of helping make the safety of professional drivers a top priority during this outbreak.”
The online Rolling Strong Shop is now offering a variety of PPE items at prices that reflect the volume discounts the company has secured from suppliers. Included are masks, gloves, hand sanitizer and disposable thermometers.
Rolling Strong has also established a task force to help educate drivers on best practices for staying healthy on the road and taking precautions to remain safe. COVID-19 Support includes an educational series, promoting relevant information from partners and health officials, and making wellness coaches available to help reduce stress and provide support.
Partner and resource links for up to date information about the Coronavirus that are available from Rolling Strong cover a range of topics, including health screening services, tips for talking to kids, and an EPA approved disinfectant list. The company has also produced a series of videos on the following subjects:
