Readi2Roll: Fitness & Nutrition for Truckers | Shamaira Gonzalez on Behind The Wheelhouse

In this episode of Behind the Wheelhouse on Trucker Talk Radio, Shamaira Gonzalez, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Ready App, joins Jon and Justin to tackle one of the most overlooked issues in trucking: driver health.Shamaira grew up between Milwaukee and Puerto Rico with a bodybuilder father and a truck driver stepfather. Those two worlds shaped everything. After losing her father in 2015, she channeled grief into CrossFit, started competing, and built a coaching practice. Now she is bringing that passion directly to the drivers who need it most, launching a new fitness and nutrition segment called Ready to Roll on Trucker Talk Radio.The conversation covers the biggest mistakes drivers make with food (not preparing before they hit the road), how to build a seven-day healthy meal plan that travels with you, and why moving your body even 20 minutes next to your tractor makes a real long-term difference. Shamaira also breaks down energy drink choices, the truth about beef jerky, which protein bars are actually worth it, and what your best options really are at McDonald's when there is nothing else around.She also shares her perspective from her years in DOT and driver recruiting on why having your paperwork organized digitally through the Ready App driver passport is a game changer for both drivers and officers on the roadside.Follow Shamaira:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/readi2roll_/Follow Trucker Talk RadioYouTube: https://youtube.com/@TruckerTalkRadioTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@truckertalkradioInstagram: https://instagram.com/truckertalkradioX: https://x.com/trucktalkradioPowered by Ready AppThe driver-verification platform protecting brokers, carriers, and shippers from identity fraud, onboarding risks, and unsafe hires.Learn more at: https://ready-app.comSupport GreyCross.orgA 501(c)(3) supporting families affected by roadway tragedies across America.Donate at: https://greycross.org#truckertalkradio #truckerhealth #truckinglife #truckerfitness #drivernutrition #healthytrucking #readyapp #fitnessontheroad #truckingpodcast #owneroperator #truckdriver #mealprep #behindthewheelhouse #readytoroll #truckerwellness
