Course Description:
Research is nonexistent-sparse on whether health promotion programs for truck drivers increase the length of a driver’s Department of Transportation (DOT) medical certificate. We want to see that these health promotion programs are making a positive difference in the health of truck drivers, and increase the length of their medical certification. This article takes a look at Fit to Pass (FTP) in particular.
