The national average for drivers staying on sleep apnea treatment after two years? 23%. Knox Health's number? 96%.

In this episode of Fit Drivers, Bob sits down with Dr. Heidi Riney, Chief Medical Director at Knox Health, to break down why sleep is one of the most overlooked and most impactful health interventions in trucking — and how Knox has built a model that removes nearly every barrier standing between a driver and a good night's sleep.

From home sleep testing shipped directly to wherever a driver is on the road, to telemedicine visits with physicians licensed in all 50 states, to a dedicated acclimation team that calls drivers every single day if that's what it takes — Knox Health has cracked the code on driver sleep care that actually sticks.

We also cover how treating sleep apnea creates a positive domino effect on blood pressure, diabetes, energy, food choices, and overall quality of life — and why one Knox client's healthcare claims dropped so dramatically after rolling out the program that they asked: why are we only doing this with regulated drivers?

The worst option is doing nothing at all.

Most wellness programs get 20% engagement. Functional Lifestyle is hitting 80%, and they're doing it at no cost to the employer or the employee.

In this episode of Fit Drivers, Bob sits down with Tyson Funk, founder of Functional Lifestyle, to break down the next generation of workplace wellness, a preventative care model built around functional medicine, AI-driven technology, and smart financial incentives that actually fund themselves through IRS tax codes.

We cover how carriers can deploy a full suite of benefits: from zero copay telehealth and mental health services to functional medicine doctors, dietary coaches, and movement therapists, without adding a line to the budget. And how rewarding drivers with gift cards, step challenges, and real prizes is cracking the code on engagement that traditional wellness programs never could.

If you're in HR, fleet management, or benefits consulting and you've been told wellness doesn't work… this episode will change your mind.

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.
