About SHIFT
Shift your habits for a long and healthy life!

SHIFT stands for “Safety & Health Involvement For Truckers.”  The program is meant to be a fun way to boost your safety and health on the road.  In our current NHLBI research study, SHIFT provides free health assessments for every volunteer.  Some driver volunteers, chosen by random selection, will receive a supplementary weight loss and health promotion program.

What is the SHIFT Program?

SHIFT is a weight loss and health promotion program for commercial truck drivers.  The goals of the program are to help drivers: (1) achieve and maintain a healthy body weight and (2) prevent workplace injuries and crashes.  SHIFT includes:
-- A weight loss competition
-- Training certification in nutrition, exercise, and sleep
-- Cell phone support from a health coach
