INFINITI adds Project 61 driver health series to training catalog

INFINITI Fleet Safety Training will add Project 61’s 16-part Driver Health Video Series to its catalog beginning Tuesday, June 23, giving fleets a way to assign driver wellness content through the same platform they already use for safety and compliance training. The move is aimed at helping fleets support driver health, retention and long-term safety performance without building a wellness program from scratch.

Why it matters: - Fleets can now deliver driver health content through the same system they already use for safety and compliance training. - The addition is aimed at helping fleets address fatigue, stress and other health issues that can affect safety performance and retention. - The series gives fleets a ready-made wellness option for drivers who work long hours under real-world pressure.

What happened: - INFINITI Fleet Safety Training will add Project 61’s new Driver Health Video Series to its training catalog. - The series becomes available in the INFINITI Fleet Safety Training catalog beginning Tuesday, June 23. - The catalog addition is designed to let fleets assign, track and reinforce driver health training through one platform.

The details: - Project 61’s Driver Health Video Series includes 16 parts and was built specifically for CDL drivers. - Project 61 created the series, with support from Next Generation in Trucking and funding from the Trucking Cares Foundation. - The videos focus on practical habits drivers can use on the road, including food, movement, sleep, stress and key health numbers. - The series is organized around Project 61’s 5 Axles of Health: Fuel, Move, Recharge, Mental Drive and Preventative Maintenance. - INFINITI says the catalog addition gives fleets a practical way to bring driver wellness into an existing safety training program. - The series is short and focused for fleets that want to support driver health without building a wellness program from the ground up.

Between the lines: - The move reflects a broader shift toward treating driver health as part of fleet safety, not a separate initiative. - INFINITI is positioning wellness training as a retention tool as well as a safety tool. - Project 61 is trying to solve a common problem in trucking: most wellness advice is too generic to fit life on the road. - Lydia Wommack, director of marketing and strategic partnerships at INFINITI Fleet Safety Training, said the average driver’s lifespan is 61 years and called driver health both a moral obligation and a business priority. - Jeremy Reymer, founder of Project 61, said drivers need practical tools that fit trucking and help them make small changes over time.

What's next: - Fleets using INFINITI’s platform will be able to add the Driver Health Video Series to their training mix once it appears in the catalog on June 23. - INFINITI customers now have another option to strengthen driver development programs while supporting long-term driver well-being. - The series could serve as an entry point for fleets that want to start wellness programming without building new content internally.

The bottom line: - INFINITI is broadening fleet training beyond compliance and safety basics to include driver health content that is designed for trucking realities.
