Why 61?

Long, sedentary hours behind the wheel, poor sleep, fast food, and constant stress make trucking dangerous in more ways than traffic reports reveal. It isn’t just risky on the road; it’s hard on your health. Too many drivers are dying decades too soon, leaving families to grieve lives cut short. Project 61 is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit determined to change that. Support Project 61 and help give drivers longer, healthier lives.

I love the app! It's user-friendly and easy to follow. I love that I get to know my coach, and it has helped me build my confidence and given me a routine that's easy to follow. It's my one-stop shop for health!

I’ve lost 10.1lbs since joining, and my whole family is getting into it. We’re eating healthier, going on walks together, and making time to be active as a family!
