Sleep Apnea Program * USA - Million Mile Commercial Truck Driver Says Saved His Life
SleepSafe Drivers, Inc. Announces Early Success in Sleep Trials with J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc.
Laguna Niguel,Cal,USA -Reuters -Nov 4, 2009: -- SleepSafe Drivers, Inc., a national provider of sleep apnea diagnosis and treatment programs for fleets, today announced positive preliminary results from a clinical trial focused on testing and treating truck drivers suffering with sleep apnea as part of a national contract with J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc... The goal of the trial, which is backed by an Independent Review Board, is to improve the health and safety of the drivers. The trial results will document any cost savings from reduced medical expenses and lower accidents as a consequence of the program. J.B. Hunt is accelerating the pace of the trial and expects to continue expanding the program over time... One of the major benefits of the SleepSafe Drivers program is the Company`s unique On-SiteTM testing and Sure ComplianceTM treatment program designed specifically for truckers. These programs offer the ability to test drivers for sleep apnea using out-patient testing via ambulatory tests wherever the driver is sleeping that night. Ambulatory testing is less costly and more convenient for truck drivers, making it easier for them to get tested sooner and start receiving treatment...
