COMPANIES

CDL Companies

Our goal here at 18WW is the same as yours. Keep your drivers and build a culture so that drivers stay and make a great career and life at your company.

We don't know the best decisions related to routing.

We don't know the best fuel purchasing options or driver assignments.

We just don't.

However what we do know is...

How to help lower blood pressure and blood sugar levels for DOT physicals

How to help get rid of:

  • - Shoulder/ Neck Pain
  • - Lower back & Hip Pain
  • - Knee Pain (Trucker's Knee)
  • - And other issues CDL drivers face

How to modify workouts from being fat to being in shape

Using our system rooted in our "Joint by Joint" and "Pain Loop" we can help get rid of already existing pain.

Our focus always has been and always will be on the person entrusted to carry your freight.

Making sure they show up day after day pain free. 


AD COPY Companies

The 18WW presentation is the new standard curriculum for truck driving companies, and those who want to change their lives through wellness. 

Our presentation is the most practical and hands-on coaching presentation in the industry today. It will improve your understanding of where issues arise, give you systems to implement immediately, teach you how to help yourself get out of pain, and help improve your quality of life. You will become more knowledgeable after this presentation.

Unlike many other “wellness programs” (which are merely an over-priced computer click through) – we do not just check a “completed” box and move on to the next question. This presentation will be hands-on and informative. We won’t leave until every driver has an understanding of all the material. Somewhere along the line big wellness companies thought that being non personal and getting people through as fast as possible was the answer. We will never be that at 18WW.

If you want to improve your life and your drivers lives, join us for an upcoming 18WW presentation.


What We Cover


Big Belly Breathing

  • We Start With What Can Positively Impact Everything

We breathe 20,000+ times a day, that has direct implications on the follow.

We explain how we can positively impact the following

  • Nervous System - Decrease stress, fully functioning
  • Cortisol Levels - decreases, properly activating diaphragm
  • Heart -  Doesn’t have to work as hard, helps eliminate poor circulation in hands and feet
  • Muscles - Promotes proper recovery able to take in 6-7 times more oxygen
  • Brain -  Takes 20% of all oxygen you breathe in, directly affects all other systems. Fuller breath = more optimal systems.
  • Airway - Becomes unrestricted and is able to take in more oxygen.

90+% of people breathe improperly because of this we cover in depth multiple ways to improve your life and explain in depth the limiting factors

  • Ways to Improve Blood Sugar Levels

  • Truck drivers are 50% more at risk for type 2 diabetes
  • 60 - 70 % of people with diabetes develop peripheral neuropathy
  • Peripheral neuropathy (loss of feeling in feet or hands) can result in loss of CDL license.
  • We talk how something can be twice as effective as Metformin
  • to help prevent and lower type 2 diabetes.

Spine First Then Limbs

How To Make Sure We Optimize Our

Breathing, & Spinal Posture

  • If the center of our body is out of position nothing else can fall into position.
  • Spine first then limbs as we talked about Boyle’s joint by joint that certain joints need mobility and others need stability. If compromised it inhibits the joints surrounding it.
  • Improper spinal posture can be the root of poor posture, For simplicity these positions will be called open and closed positions.
  • Open - 
  • - Lumbar Spine Collapsed 
  • - Pinched Facet Joint
  • - Low Back Pain
  • - Tight Hips
  • - Pelvis Tipped Forward

  • Closed -
  • - Rounded Shoulders
  • - Tight Neck Muscles
  • - Upper Back Pain
  • - Lumbar Spine Pulled Forward
  • - Breathing Mechanics Compromised
  • With the ramifications of high blood pressure on dot physicals,
  • we want to give you a simple effect way to lower your blood pressure.
  • Lower by (according to a scope review) SBP of 8.6mm HG and 4.9MM DBP of hypertensive individuals.
  • With the varying stage classifications of dot physicals, the ability to go to a lower stage is huge.
  • We also cover what could prevent us from receiving our maximal return on this.

Joint by Joint Model

Mobility vs. Stability

Our joints in our body need both mobility and stability, we’d all agree with that statement. 


However what most people don’t know is certain joints need more mobility and other joints need more stability to allow us to move optimally. (example our knee needs more stability where was our hip needs more mobility)


When one joint gets out of position it then compromises the position surrounding joints, thus creating a chain reaction.

Pain Loop

How We Get Stuck In A Constant State Of Pain

When a joint gets out of position, it messes with our motor patterns and how our muscles work creating a “Pain Loop.”

In the “pain loop” why our back pain or shoulder pain is constant and how to break the loop.


The Pain Loop Consists of Six Components

  • - Muscle Imbalances
  • - Impaired Movement Patterns & Postural Changes
  • - Faulty Motor Program & Motor Learning
  • - Altered Joint Forces & Altered Proprioception 
  • - Joint Degeneration and Postural Changes
  • - Pain and Inflammation

Forward Head & Neck Posture

How To Restore Proper Posture & Alleviate Pain 

In this section we talk about why our head and neck is in a forward position and how to get back into a pain free position.

This ideally will :

  • Restore joint to their primary function 
  • Mobilize tight muscles
  • Strength weak and inhibited muscles

Which will ideally result in:

  • Less headaches
  • Neck pain
  • Jaw pain
  • Increased range of motion
  • Ability to turn

Rounded Shoulder

How To Restore Proper Posture & Alleviate Pain 


In this section we talk about why our shoulders are rounded and how to get back into a pain free position.

Our system is rooted in our three joint by joint rules and the pain loop.

This ideally will :

  • Restore joint to their primary function 
  • Mobilize tight muscles
  • Strength weak and inhibited muscles

Which will ideally result in:

  • Reduce Shoulder Pain
  • Lessen or get rid of shoulder impingements, tendinitis, bursitis
  • Increased range of motion
  • Possibly alleviate elbow and wrist pain

Slouched Posture

Most Common Low Back Pain Posture, How We Get Out Of It

  • In this section we talk about why our hips and lower back are rounded and how to get back into a pain free position.
  • Our system is rooted in our three joint by joint rules and the pain loop.

This will ideally:

  • Restore joints to their primary function 
  • Mobilize tight muscles
  • Strength weak and inhibited muscles

Which will ideally result in:

  • Reduce back pain
  • Improve hip function
  • Reduce hip pain
  • Reduce knee pain

Over Arched Posture

"Sitting Up Too Straight"

  • In this section we talk about why our hips and lower back are over arched  and how to get back into a pain free position.
  • Our system is rooted in our three joint by joint rules and the pain loop
  • This ideally will :
  • Restore joint to their primary function 
  • Mobilize tight muscles
  • Strength weak and inhibited muscles

Truckers Butt / Sitting Mechanics

Activate Your Glutes!

  • By using our three joint by joint rules and the pain loop template we cover how to activate your glutes.
  • If we can't activate our glutes, we can't stabilize our hips.
  • If we can't stabilize our hips low back pain will follow.
