Enhancing Safety for Truck Drivers: Lofta's New Initiative
Lofta Partners with PMTA for Healthier Trucking Solutions
Lofta, a recognized leader in addressing sleep apnea diagnosis and management, has formed an empowering partnership with the Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association (PMTA). By integrating Lofta Direct, an initiative aimed at employers, this collaboration enhances access to convenient at-home testing and treatment solutions specifically for trucking professionals.
This partnership is a testament to a united dedication to the health, safety, and prosperity of drivers in the trucking industry. Studies suggest that nearly 28% of truck drivers are affected by sleep apnea, according to information from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Untreated sleep apnea can greatly amplify the risk of drowsy driving, increasing the potential for accidents by up to five times.
Through this significant alliance, PMTA members will have the advantage of Lofta Direct’s all-encompassing at-home sleep apnea program, designed to provide rapid and accurate diagnoses without the hassle of overnight lab visits. Additionally, Lofta commits to offering ongoing support for CPAP therapy to drivers who have been diagnosed, promoting adherence to federal regulations, which require drivers to renew their medical certifications regularly.
"We are thrilled to welcome Lofta as a supporter of our association. Their focus on driver health and safety aligns perfectly with PMTA's mission to uplift the trucking industry in every aspect," expressed Megan Magensky, Director of Communications for the Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association.
As part of this collaboration, Lofta Direct will create a dedicated platform exclusively for PMTA members, granting them straightforward access to an array of Lofta's resources. Together, Lofta Direct and PMTA will roll out educational email initiatives and organize health seminars to emphasize the vital nature of sleep health in ensuring safety within the trucking sector.
Lofta Direct specializes in customizable sleep solutions tailored for employers, Department of Transportation (DOT) programs, and primary care clinics. By offering seamless at-home testing and CPAP therapy, Lofta is positioned to help businesses mitigate the costly ramifications of untreated sleep apnea, while simultaneously boosting employee health and productivity. These innovative solutions not only save costs but also work harmoniously within healthcare membership programs and various insurance coverage options, making healthcare accessible for all employees.
