Click here to read more
Treatment for sleep apnea is important in any situation, however for drivers specifically, untreated sleep apnea can result in 7 times more likely chance to get into a serious accident. This is because the disturbances caused by sleep apnea throughout the night results in a loss of concentration and alertness for the driver while on the road. The driver will also be at risk of a variety of health issues, causing a greater liability for the fleet and fleet owners. If these health issues surface, the cost of medical care will increase immensely as well. Using our Turn-Key program, you we will not only ensure that your drivers are diagnosed accurately, we will commit to monitoring their treatment usage to be certain that their health or lack of sleep is no longer an issue due to sleep apnea. We will provide unsurpassable support and reliability to your entire fleet to make this testing and treatment process smooth.
Currently, it is advised by the DOT/FMCSA's Medical Advisory Board to verify all Medical Examiners providing a physical exam to renew a driver's CDL to check the all risk factors for sleep apnea. Although this has not been declared by the board to be a requirement, there is talk of an implementation of this recommendation soon.
