Since 2011, when the concept was enshrined into law, the Covenant reinforced the moral obligation between nation, government and Armed Forces which has since seen UK organisations of all sizes commit to treating our Armed Forces Personnel, and their families, fairly. The retailer is the latest in a long line of large and small organisations to confirm their pledge to our serving Armed Forces personnel and veterans, demonstrating a commitment to work with and for our personnel. More than 10,000 organisations have committed to improving the lives of service people and their families, with John Lewis becoming the latest signatory to mark this major milestone.

The John Lewis Partnership pledges to improve lives of service people and their families.

“We applaud Covenant Transport for adopting the FIT System and taking such a proactive approach to healthy lifestyles, and for being part of the solution. “Driver wellness is an important industry concern, and we’re seeing many of our customers launch programs that support and educate their workforce on making healthy choices,” said Mary Aufdemberg, director of product marketing for Freightliner Trucks. The system uses existing seat tether and bunk resistant mounting points for installing custom brackets, which makes the system easy to attach and use. The FIT System features a triple-grip handle, which enables users to interchange three bands to change resistance levels. The FIT System extends our healthy programs and helps keep our drivers safe and healthy.”Ĭovenant Transport has also branded one of its Freightliner tractors the “Driver Wellness Workout Truck.” The company’s on-site health coach uses the workout truck to train drivers how to use the system. “We have been working with all of our employees to develop an intense program that provides the tools, coaching and incentives to motivate good health. “Wellness employee initiatives are not new to Covenant Transport,” said Joey Hogan, president of Covenant Transport. Covenant Transport was introduced to the system in 2012 during its initial test rollout.

It provides a full-body strength and conditioning workout for drivers in the cab. Developed in collaboration with Rolling Strong, the FIT System is an OEM-designed and integrated in-cab exercise solution.
