Truck drivers can plan around several remaining November dates for free, voluntary health screenings at selected Engen stops.

The published 2026 Driver Wellness timetable lists Winelands 1 Stop South for 11 and 12 November, and Grasmere 1 Stop South for 11 November. Both are scheduled from 08:00 to 17:00.

Remaining mobile-clinic dates

  • Winelands 1 Stop South: 11–12 November, 08:00–17:00.
  • Grasmere 1 Stop South: 11 November, 08:00–17:00.
  • Highveld 1 Stop West: 12–13 November, 08:00–17:00.
  • Highveld 1 Stop East: 16–17 November, 08:00–17:00.
  • Kempston Truck Stop, East London: 26 November, 08:00–17:00.

The campaign, delivered with Trucking Wellness, includes checks such as blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and body mass index, alongside HIV and TB screening.

These dates come from the campaign timetable published on 25 September, checked on 10 November. They are scheduled sessions, not confirmation that a clinic has opened or that any screening has taken place. Confirm current arrangements with the participating stop before travelling specifically for the service.
