Industry Insight: Why Small Habits Matter More in February

February is American Heart Month, and for transportation and logistics teams, it’s a timely reminder that safety, health, and performance are deeply connected.

Long hours, winter driving conditions, irregular sleep, stress, and extended time sitting: these all place added strain on the body, especially the heart. But research consistently shows that health risks don’t change through big overhauls alone. They change through small, repeatable habits practiced over time.

In high-pressure environments, people don’t default to what they’ve been taught, they default to what’s familiar. That’s why February is an ideal moment to reinforce simple behaviors that support alertness, decision-making, and well-being: taking a short movement break, staying hydrated, slowing down before a risky maneuver, or checking in with yourself when fatigue sets in.

American Heart Month isn’t about asking people to do more. It’s about helping them notice the small choices they already make every day and encouraging the ones that help them get home safe and healthy.
