1. Emotional Wellness for Truckers and Professional Truck
Drivers
Beyond emotional balance, one's emotional wellness can have a profound impact on his/her ability to
do a job well. We don't know of a single employer who isn't looking for employees who are
physically, mentally and emotionally well.
Some truckers may achieve emotional health through reliance on a spiritual higher power (link, link,
link, link). Others may tame their emotions other ways. Did you know that smoking affects one's
emotions (link)?
When one's emotional wellness goes haywire, horrible things can happen. For example:
In July 2013, the state of Texas executed a man who killed two truck drivers in a fit of road rage

road-rage?lite
(no longer online).
Truck drivers themselves can get caught up in road rage (link, link).
Every relationship that a truck driver has can take its toll on his/her
emotional well being:
family relationships (spouse, children, parents, extended family, etc.),
working relationships (driver manager, team driver, co-workers, vendors, customers, etc.) and
other relationships (political, spiritual, tax-related, fellow travelers, etc.).
There are myriads of other examples in which a trucker's emotional wellness may be stretched. We
previously described a situation so grave that a trucker may be tempted to abandon a truck.
Is there anything that truckers can do to help with emotional wellness?
Yes!
We are not qualified to render medical advice; however, we urge truckers to seek -- whenever

2. possible -- natural alternatives to prescription medications (which almost always have side effects).
Furthermore, we recommend using pure therapeutic grade essential oils for emotional wellness.
Below, we have listed (in alphabetical order) essential oils used for emotional wellness. The list is
extensive because each person's needs and biochemistry may be different from someone else's.
Also, the list of essential oils for emotional wellness below is one of several lists that we have
grouped under "trucker health" in the Health and Wellness section on our site. The other lists are:
Because of their unique Seed to Seal® process and the success we have personally experienced in
using them, we unapologetically recommend pure therapeutic grade essential oils from Young Living
for emotional wellness.
