Don’t miss your FINAL opportunity to avoid ADDITIONAL increases in your 2015 health insurance premiums. As we’ve been sharing over these last several months, to avoid these additional premium costs EVERY covered EMPLOYEE must complete BOTH the Personal Health Assessment (PHA) and a Biometric Screening BEFORE July 31, 2014.

To complete the PHA, please log on to www.bcbst.com and go to Blue Access. To complete the Biometric Screening, a basic annual well visit (physical) must be done by the employee’s medical provider or on-site at one of the Biometric Screening events that have been scheduled at local terminals. Biometric Screenings may also be done at many of the clinics that perform DOT physicals for FirstFleet drivers.

Getting a great workout while you’re on the road does not have to be a hassle. Fitness experts recommend 150 minutes of moderate activity every week – you can do that and more by taking short breaks to work out.

Pack Your Equipment
Here’s the good news: All the gear you need is portable and does not take up a lot of space. In fact, some workouts just require a truck step or bumper.

Pack weights and resistance bands the next time you hit the road. These tools will help you build strength and endurance – and they don’t take up much space in your truck.

The Basics of Exercise on the RoadYou can do a lot for your body on a short break. Start by “warming up” for 5-7 minutes. You can walk, jog or do jumping jacks – any cardio exercise you like will work.

Today Americans celebrate the freedoms we enjoy as citizens of this great country. As Americans we enjoy a great number of freedoms that many in this world have never known the taste of: to speak our mind with liberty, to vote with conscience, and to be a country governed of the people, by the people and for the people.

These rights and privileges granted to us by so many who have gone before and set the foundations of this great nation are to be celebrated and respected, and our nation sets this day aside to remember and rejoice.

Nearly 41 million Americans are expected to travel 50 or miles from home this July 4th holiday weekend. This holiday is anticipated as the highest traffic volume in the past 7 years.

On a typical day around 112 people lose their life in highway traffic accidents, the July 4th number typically is around 148. Sadly, 31% of those deaths will be alcohol related. Other leading causes are driver inattention especially cell phone caused, excessive speed, and driver fatigue - dozing off at the wheel. Follow these safety tips to add safety to your holiday travel plans.

The Building Blocks of a Healthy Meal
Your body needs protein, healthy fats and carbohydrates – they are the foundation of a healthy meal.  Here are a few foods and snacks you can easily include in your diet:

Warm weather can lead to greater chances of experiencing fatigue, boredom and inattention, while driving. Our complete and full attention is required for safe driving at all times.

If you experience daydreaming, yawning, or head nods, please do not ignore this condition, you may be on the verge of dozing off. Get off the road, get fresh air, walk around some, or if needed ,take a power nap. If you fight these physical conditions often, and continue to drive, you are not driving alert and prepared.
