Engen's Driver Wellness campaign visits Komatipoort

In partnership with Trucking Wellness, Engen recently visited the Engen Truck Stop on the N4 near Komatipoort in Mpumalanga. The Wellness Days run from Engen truck stops and some retail sites, are targeting long distance truck drivers who are sometimes on the road for up to two weeks at a time.

Qualified nurses and counselors screen drivers and the public for blood pressure, diabetes, tuberculosis, base mass index and HIV/AIDS. They provide counseling and a referral service where required.

MEC for Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport, Ismail Vadi said: "I have no doubt that this year's campaign will be just as successful as the last one and I want to thank Engen for supporting the global UN campaign for road safety. Drivers will now be better prepared to cope with road stress and the effects of a life on the road away from the normal comforts of home and the campaign will ensure that we have better informed, healthier drivers on our roads."
