TRACK YOUR SHIFT
OWN YOUR HEALTH
-
Log every meal in seconds with SHIFT's built-in barcode scanner — just point your camera at any food packaging and your macros are recorded instantly. Track calories, protein, carbs and fats to fuel better decisions on the road. Good nutrition isn't a luxury for HGV drivers — poor diet directly impacts alertness, reaction time and long-term heart health, all of which matter when you're behind the wheel of a 44-tonne vehicle.
-
Log your sleep duration and quality each night to build a picture of your rest patterns over time. HGV regulations exist for a reason — fatigue is one of the biggest causes of serious road incidents. SHIFT helps you monitor whether you're hitting the rest you need to drive safely and feel human.
-
HGV driving is one of the most sedentary professions around. SHIFT counts your daily steps and helps you set movement goals so that even short breaks become an opportunity to get active. Consistent movement reduces the risk of blood clots, back problems and cardiovascular disease — all common conditions among long-haul drivers.
-
Log gym sessions, bodyweight circuits, runs or any physical activity directly in the app. Track sets, reps, duration and progress over time. Regular strength and cardio training helps drivers maintain core strength, posture and energy levels — all critical for long hours in a cab. No gym? No problem — SHIFT includes body weight routines you can do anywhere.
-
Write freely, track moods or simply note how your day went. Journalling is one of the most effective tools for managing stress and loneliness — both of which are disproportionately high in the HGV community. Regular reflection helps you spot patterns in your mental wellbeing before small struggles become big problems.
-
Tap to log every glass or bottle of water throughout your shift. Dehydration causes fatigue, poor concentration and headaches — three things no driver should be dealing with at 70mph. SHIFT reminds you to keep drinking and shows your progress against your daily hydration goal.
-
Log your weight regularly and SHIFT calculates your BMI and tracks your trend over time. Obesity rates among HGV drivers are significantly above the national average, increasing the risk of diabetes, sleep apnoea and heart disease. Seeing your progress (or early warning signs) in one place makes it easier to act.
