  The Hidden Benefits Killing Driver Retention | Sandy & Adrian, Medefy | Ep. 34

  Jul 24, 202636 minS1

  Your drivers have health benefits. Most of them have no idea how to use them. In this episode of Fit Drivers, Bob sits down with Sandy and Adrian from Medefy, a live benefits navigation platform built to do one thing: make health care simple, accessible, and personal for the people who need it most. We dive into how Medefy works directly with carriers and HR teams to deploy a mobile-first platform that meets drivers where they are: on the road, away from home, and too busy to sit on hold for 45 minutes just to find out where their prescription went. From transferring prescriptions across state lines to helping a spouse find urgent care back home, Medefy’s team handles the legwork so drivers don't have to. And the numbers back it up: 22 to 45% engagement in the first six months, with a money-back guarantee if they don't hit their metrics.If you're in HR, safety, or fleet management and your drivers aren't using their benefits, this episode is for you. medefy.com Thank you to our sponsor, Tenstreet: the trucking industry's leading driver lifecycle management platform, helping carriers recruit, onboard, and retain drivers smarter. tenstreet.com #fitdrivers #medefy #truckdriverhealth #driverbenefits #cdllife #truckingindustry #driverretention #healthcarenavigation #keepamericamoving #tenstreet #hrleaders #fleetmanagement

  Half of All Drivers Are One Exam Away From Losing Everything | Stephen Kane, Rolling Strong | Ep. 33

  Jun 17, 202635 min

  Your drivers are one DOT exam away from losing their livelihood. And most carriers don't even know which drivers are at risk. In Part 2 of our conversation with Stephen Kane, President of Rolling Strong, we go deeper into the technology behind the Ready Research Program: - How it automatically identifies drivers on short-term cards - Sends targeted reminders at 90, 60, 30, 14, and 2 days out - Connects them with CDL-specialized health coaches before it's ever too late We also dive into Rolling Strong's new DOT-enabled HealthCheck Stations, Rolling Strong Flex fitness kits, and how carriers can now serve both W2 and 1099 drivers through one complete ecosystem. Nearly half of the 3.5 million drivers on the road today have less than acceptable medical conditions. The technology to fix that already exists. The only wrong move is doing nothing. 🌐 rollingstrong.com 🙏 Thank you to our sponsor, Tenstreet: the trucking industry's leading driver lifecycle management platform, helping carriers recruit, onboard, and retain drivers smarter. 🌐 tenstreet.com #fitdrivers #rollingstrong #truckdriverhealth #DOTphysical #cdllife #truckingindustry #driverretention #keepamericamoving #tenstreet #healthcheck #readyresearch
