Months ago, while fueling, a driver weighing upwards of 400 lbs collapsed in the fuel island next to me while pumping his diesel. Panicked, short of breath, he banged on the cab as his wife came out.
The look of desperation in his face, and the fear in her eyes were burned into by brain. I realized in that moment I could have been that man on the ground had I not lost 200lbs trucking, and my wife could have been that woman; terrified her husband was going to die in front of her in a slimey puddle of diesel.
I knew the technology and resources existed to tackle this problem. Taking this on was incredibly challenging. I balanced researching, building, and learning with the demands of trucking.
I had to partner with experts who could cover my blindspots, and trust my advisors to help me bring this all together.
My team is incredible. Thank you to them, and everyone who has got us to this point.
Today we launch a trucker-founded, doctor-led specialty pharmacy and telehealth support provider.
We are certified, cover 50 states, and meet truckers with solutions personalized and delivered on demand by board-certified physicians to serve them where they are, when they are. All we do is by prescription and the guidance of a doctor, only.
So why all this?
As truckers, we are MOVING targets for the healthcare system.
When we drive the majority of our days, not only is it hard to access video appointments through standard telehealth, and ensure we will have reliable internet access to do so; it is damn near impossible to reliably navigate picking up prescription medication while OTR.
I can't tell you how many times I had to decide between visiting a doctor or spending time with family on earned time off.
Our model REVOLVES around drivers schedules.
Our model also helps drivers, their family, friends save money by NOT offsetting highly competitive marketing costs on to them, or navigating the challenges of insurance.
We have a grass roots model, we actively are recruiting paid brand ambassadors.
People enrolled in our comprehensive weightloss program can also save themselves and their friends money by referring eligible people to our program that qualify. There is no limit on referrals.
We are here to help ERADICATE the obesity epidemic in trucking. I lost 200lbs myself and kept it off. With access to the AI powered tools and resources I have now (including the blockbuster GLP-1 medications), I could have done this in just a few years, and not several frustrating years of trying and failing without answers; doing things the hard way.
I am tired of the fact that truckers live 16 years less than the average American. They have a life expectancy of 61!
Right now we provide on-demands solutions for obesity, quitting smoking, sexual wellness; and more.
That's not all though, we have more solutions on the way to prepare drivers who struggle with access to care over the road.
