Now Open: Driver Lifestyle Wellness Training Academy – Starting Out Healthy Certification for CDL Schools
Now Open: “Starting Out Healthy” Certification Launches for CDL Schools
We’re excited to announce that the Driver Lifestyle Wellness Training Academy – Starting Out Healthy Certification is now officially open and available for all truck driving schools and CDL training programs across the country!
Created by Mother Trucker Yoga and rolled out in partnership with CVTA, this industry-first wellness certification is designed specifically for student drivers. It offers a practical, preventative approach to health that supports CDL students from day one—without disrupting the existing curriculum or classroom hours.
Why This Matters
The trucking industry is facing unprecedented driver shortages and rising health concerns. CDL students entering the industry often have no training on how to take care of their bodies or minds—until it’s too late.
The Starting Out Healthy Certification fills this critical gap.
When drivers begin their careers with healthy habits in place, they are more likely to stay on the road longer, avoid injuries, reduce medical costs, and remain engaged and productive throughout their careers.
This certification helps CDL schools stand out by delivering healthier, more career-ready drivers to carriers.
What’s Included
The Starting Out Healthy Certification includes self-paced modules covering:
- Movement & Posture (including simple trucking yoga practices)
- Nutrition Basics
- Hydration
- Sleep Strategies
- Stress Management
- Real-world exercises for on-the-go wellness
Each student receives:
✅ Access to our on-demand video learning platform
✅ A free copy of Trucking Yoga: Simple Fitness for the Long Haul
✅ Printable support materials and wellness posters for classroom reinforcement
✅ A personalized certificate of completion
Built for Flexibility & Impact
This isn’t another course to cram into an already packed classroom schedule.
The Starting Out Healthy Certification is self-paced, designed to be completed during downtime between driving sessions, study blocks, or at home before graduation.
It adds no extra burden to instructors or training coordinators, while offering huge added value to students and the schools that support them.
A New Standard in Driver Education
As the industry evolves, CDL schools must go beyond the basics to prepare students for life on the road. Preventative wellness training is no longer a bonus—it’s a must-have.
Let your school be a leader in this movement.
