"My health journey started back in 2016 a year before I started OTR, I was twenty-one and weighed in at 480lbs. Working out wasn’t new to me, as I participated in multiple sports throughout high school, but working out while maintaining healthy eating habits was a foreign concept. 2016 started like any other yearly physical, but this time instead of the doc telling me about my weight, he simply asked me if I wanted to live to see thirty. It was the wakeup call I needed."Learn more about Prime Driver Health and Fitness:Website: https://driverhealthandfitness.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/407841039845829/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/primefitfleet/

We sit down with Shaun from our Payroll Department and Jason from Refrigerated Division Operations to discuss the upcoming payroll cutoff change as well as discuss some questions that they've been hearing on this change. The payroll cutoff will be moving from Tuesdays at 16:00 cst to Wednesdays at 16:00 cst and is scheduled to start on Wednesday, Feb 12th. This means we will audit on Thursdays, and direct deposits will be sent Same Day ACH Friday mornings and funds will be available by end of day on Fridays (like several holidays recently). Card loads & settlement/payroll emails will be Friday morning, also. On holiday weeks, payroll will still run, and you will be paid by end of day on Fridays. This idea has been discussed for several years, and thanks to some new options we are able to finally make the switch. One of the key reasons for making the switch is from an operational standpoint to increase the amount of loads accepted with a Wednesday delivery.Remember to turn in your trips as soon as pos
