Far too often, a trucker food list is made up out of whatever is closest and most accessible. This usually leads to a lot of fast food, candy bars, and chips. While these snacks are certainly tasty, they aren’t able to provide truckers with the kind of energy they need throughout the day. 

The logistics and transportation industry is a pillar of our country’s economy. As long as people keep buying products online, there’s going to be demand for professional truck drivers. This is why Lily Transportation is so committed to promoting a positive and productive trucking culture for all of its employees.

The truck driver lifestyle is full of one-of-a-kind perks and excitement you won’t find anywhere else. The self-driven structure of your day-to-day schedule, the picturesque views you’ll see on the road each day; these are things you just can’t find behind a desk. 

Safety is the core of everything we do here at Lily Transportation. Trucking safety plays a crucial role in the way we hire drivers, train our employees, maintain our equipment, and so much more. Here is just a glimpse into the many ways we make truck driver safety a priority each and every day.

Creating and sticking to a healthy diet is hard enough as it is, but when you’re a truck driver who spends the majority of their day on the road, then eating healthy can feel extra challenging.

Getting started in any new career can feel overwhelming, especially when it’s your first career after serving in the military. If a laid-back office job sounds like the last thing you want to be doing, then you should look into the trucking lifestyle as a possible alternative.

Anything can happen on the road, especially during the winter months. A storm can come out of nowhere and knock a tree onto the street; an accident can cause traffic to move to a crawl; a moose could wander out onto the highway and stubbornly refuse to move. It’s impossible to predict what you’ll encounter on a job, which is why every truck driver must have an emergency checklist.
