We anticipate surpassing last year\u2019s total because our footprint is slightly larger this year,\u201d says Walt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Truck drivers, often on the road for long periods, face significant challenges in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Andile Yame, one of the drivers present, shed light on these difficulties: \u201cMost of the time, we eat unhealthy food or don\u2019t eat at all because we cannot easily access shops with our trucks. It is also unsafe to leave the truck unattended in unfamiliar places.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long-distance truckers are often away from their families for weeks at a time, relying on the water they carry and struggling to access nutritious meals. This makes health screenings and support services like those offered by Engen particularly important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spectacles\">Spectacles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Adnaan Emeran, Engen\u2019s Lubricants and Commercial Marketing and Business Development Manager, underscored the urgency of these health initiatives. \u201cData from The Guud Companies show that 49% of truck drivers tested require spectacles. By 11:00 on the day of the event, two drivers were identified as needing glasses and received them on-site. It\u2019s worth noting that 90% of all goods consumed in South Africa are transported by road,\u201d said Emeran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simlindele Manqina, Engen\u2019s Manager of Transformation and Stakeholder Engagement, emphasized the programme\u2019s broader impact. \u201cOur primary goal with Engen Driver Wellness is to enhance driver health and road safety by offering accessible health screenings at convenient locations. The mobile clinics, staffed by qualified healthcare professionals, also provide counselling and distribute condoms.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Engen Kempston
