Roadside Medical and Women in trucking partner for a weight loss challenge
LAS VEGAS, NV (November 24, 2009) – Ten finalists in the Women Trucker Roadside Medical Challenge will see if they have what it takes to get in shape, despite the challenges faced while living life on the road.
“Maintaining your health can be very difficult when you spend so many hours on the road, but hopefully this challenge will help women truck drivers realize that it can be done, says Ellen Voie, President/CEO of Women in Trucking.”Together with Roadside Medical we will be able to help women get on a better road to health.”
Roadside Medical Clinic + Lab and Women In Trucking have partnered together to form a 120 day challenge that will track the fitness efforts of ten women truck drivers. The ten selected challenge participants will receive a Roadside Medical Driver Body Fuel kit, free 30 day health checks and free personal coaching from Bob Perry, the Trucker Trainer. Finalists are also invited to share their experience on the Midnight Trucking Radio Network, document their challenge online and be featured in various stories in newspapers, magazines, Internet media and in Challenge Magazine.
To be considered for one of the ten finalists for the Women Trucker Roadside Medical Challenge, Women in Trucking member drivers must submit a paragraph explaining why they should be a challenge finalist and be able to stop in a Roadside Medical Clinic + Lab location once a month for health checkups. Please submit your paragraph to diana@Roadsidemed.com or mail to Women Trucker Roadside Medical Challenge, c/o VAN LEUVEN COMMUNICATIONS, P.O. Box 6757, Chesterfield, MO 63006 no later than December thirty first, 2009. Ten finalists will be announced on or about January 15, 2010.
“We are excited to be working with Women in Trucking to share our message of health and wellness with their members and prospective members,” says Bob Perry, a.k.a. “The Trucker Trainer,” President for Roadside Medical Clinic + Lab (www.RoadsideMedical.com) and Vice Chair for the American Transportation Association Safety Management Council’s Health & Wellness Working Group.
After the 120 day challenge, Roadside Medical will announce a winner and two runners up on or about June 15, 2010.

I myself am a Walmart shopper (regularly!) and I just tried an offer that I found online to get a giftcard. There were a few hoops to jump through but in the end I got a $500 gift card (took me about 1.5 hours). I’m a regular reader and saw you wrote about Walmart so I thought I’d share with you and you’re readers. Hopfully everyone else can have the same experience I did this holiday season!
