Transforming Healthcare for Truck Drivers

Life on the road can be demanding, and your health should not take a back seat to your career. Long hours, unpredictable schedules, and limited access to healthcare can make staying healthy a challenge for OTR truck drivers. Studies show that unmanaged health issues can lead to missed workdays, increased stress, and long-term health complications – all of which can affect your livelihood and quality of life.

Maintaining CDL Eligibility

Drivers must pass regular medical exams to keep their Commercial Driver's License (CDL). Failing these exams due to poor health can result in the loss of their license and, consequently, their livelihood.

Medical Exam Eligibility

Drivers must pass regular medical exams to keep their CDL. Being overweight or obese can lead to health issues that may cause a driver to fail these exams, potentially resulting in the loss of their license and livelihood.

Reduced Risk of Chronic Conditions

Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Diabetes can cause blurry vision, leading to divers loose their ability to drive effectively.

Enhanced Safety Performance

Healthier drivers tend to be more alert and have better reaction times, reducing the risk of accidents. This improved safety record can help drivers keep their CDL and may even lower insurance costs.

Extended Career Longevity

The average lifespan of a long-haul driver is only 61 years, compared to 76 years for the average American male. By prioritizing health, drivers can extend their careers and earnings potential.

DriverMD^® offers a superior solution compared to UrgentCareTravel for several compelling reasons:

Accessibility: DriverMD^® provides 24/7 virtual access to healthcare professionals, while UrgentCareTravel has limited physical locations and operating hours. This means you can take care anytime, anywhere, without having to plan your route around specific truck stops.
Comprehensive Coverage: For just $79 per month, DriverMD^®offers a wide range of services including urgent care, primary care, behavioral health, and specialist access. UrgentCareTravel's $100 per month plan primarily focuses on DOT physical and basic services.
Family Coverage: DriverMD^® Your spouse and children are included at the $79 monthly rate, providing better value for your family's healthcare needs. UrgentCareTravel charges added fees for family members.
Medication Program: DriverMD^® offers over 1,100 free medications with pickup options at 70,000+ pharmacies nationwide or free home delivery. This extensive network surpasses UrgentCareTravel's limited prescription services.

Why OTR Drivers Need DriverMD^®

Over-the-road (OTR) truck drivers face unique healthcare challenges. Long hours on the road, limited access to traditional medical facilities, and the demands of meeting delivery deadlines often lead to neglected health needs. With over 60% of OTR drivers reporting chronic health conditions and many struggling to access timely care, DriverMD^® offers a tailored solution to keep drivers healthy, compliant, and on the road.

Comprehensive Virtual Care: DriverMD^® provides immediate access to Urgent Care, Primary Care, Behavioral Health, Dermatology, Weight Management, and more — all from a driver's smartphone, tablet, or laptop. This minimizes downtime and ensures drivers get the care they need without disrupting their schedules. Studies show virtual healthcare can reduce waiting times by up to 80%, offering faster access to care.
Mental Health Support: Life on the road can be isolated, with high stress levels contributing to mental health challenges. DriverMD^® offers integrated behavioral health services, including access to licensed therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists. Early intervention and consistent care can prevent mental health crises and help drivers stay focused, safe, and productive.
Medication Accessibility: DriverMD^® includes access to over 1,100 free medications, significantly reducing financial barriers to treatment. Many drivers face difficulty accessing pharmacies while on the road, leading to skipped treatments and worsening health conditions. With easy prescription access and delivery options, drivers can stay compliant with their health plans without added costs.
DriverMD^® ensures OTR drivers receive the care they deserve without sacrificing their livelihood. By addressing both physical and mental health needs, DriverMD^® helps drivers stay healthier, safer, and more productive — keeping America moving.
