About Steve
I'm not an influencer. I'm a driver.
Steve O'Connor is a professional HGV and recovery driver, fitness enthusiast, endurance athlete and coach who understands first-hand the challenges of staying fit and mentally healthy while working for a living.
"I don't want to tell drivers how to live. I want to show them what's possible while living the same life."
Why Trucker PT Exists
I understand because I'm doing the job too.
Steve isn't standing outside a truck pretending to understand the lifestyle. He is actually doing the job — building Trucker PT while working, training and taking on endurance challenges.
He's building it because professional drivers deserve fitness and wellbeing advice designed around their real lives. Not six-day gym programmes. Not unrealistic diets. Not "no excuses" motivational nonsense.
Advice that works around:
- Long shifts
- Night work
- Early starts
- Limited equipment
- Motorway services
- Truck-stop food
- Poor sleep
- Fatigue
- Loneliness
- Stress
- Family separation
- Lack of time
The Road So Far
From the RAF to Trucker PT.
RAF
Logistics experience — where the standards were set early.
Logistics
A career built around transport and supply chains.
Transport Management
Senior and European transport management.
HGV Driving
Years behind the wheel, doing the job properly.
Recovery Driving
Long days, hard nights, real-world problem solving.
Fitness & Coaching
Turning lived experience into practical coaching.
Endurance Challenges
Ultra-distance events — and Challenge48.
Trucker PT
Fitness and wellbeing built for life on the road.
Endurance
Fitness isn't about being perfect. It's about finding out what you're capable of.
Steve has taken on major endurance challenges, including ultra-distance events and his ongoing Challenge48 project — 48 marathons, 48 counties, 48 peaks. It's proof that he doesn't simply talk about fitness. He lives it.
Work & Training, Side By Side
The boots and the trainers travel together.
That's the whole idea. You don't stop being a driver to get fit — you build fitness into the life you already have. One choice at a time. No zero days.
