Truck driving is a thrilling job that allows those in the industry the chance to pilot the vehicles they love and experience the beauty of Australia on the road. However, as supply chains have increased demand over the past few years, it’s Aussie truck drivers that have shouldered that brutal load.

Gotcha4Life Foundation caught up with Isuzu’s Shura Taft to discuss mental fitness on the road, and ways Australian truck drivers can develop their mental fitness and strengthen their social and emotional connections.
