In recent years, the working environment and health status of truck drivers have become a social issue. Previous studies on truck drivers have not classified and analyzed their data according to the scale of businesses. In this study, a survey was conducted on truck drivers working in businesses with 30 or fewer employees to assess the working environment and health management. The results illustrate the following points: the working environment of truck drivers in small businesses has little effect on their health; fewer self-employed workers have health checkups; and the smaller the scale of the business, the less likely it is to implement health checkups. These findings suggest that measures should be taken to encourage truck drivers to undergo health checkups and to establish a system of health checkups for small businesses.
