Lofta has announced an exciting collaboration with the Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association (PMTA) to provide truck drivers with simplified, at-home sleep apnea testing and treatment. This partnership is designed to enhance driver well-being by offering convenient and effective care options.
“We’re excited to have Lofta supporting the association,” said Megan Magensky, PMTA director of communications. “Their commitment to PMTA shows they are interested in promoting the trucking industry holistically. Their platform is focused on prioritizing driver health and safety, which aligns with PMTA’s mission.”
Prioritizing Driver Health with Lofta Direct
Lofta Direct, the company’s employer-focused solution, plays a key role in this partnership. This initiative demonstrates a joint commitment to supporting trucking professionals’ health, safety, and overall success. Sleep apnea is a significant concern in the trucking industry, affecting about 28% of commercial drivers, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. If untreated, the condition can lead to a fivefold increase in crash risk due to drowsy driving—making streamlined treatment a crucial step for driver safety and compliance.
Comprehensive At-Home Sleep Apnea Solutions
PMTA members now have access to Lofta Direct’s full spectrum of at-home sleep apnea care. The program enables drivers to receive fast and accurate diagnoses without the need for an overnight lab visit. Once diagnosed, ongoing CPAP therapy support is also provided, ensuring drivers remain compliant with federal health regulations, including medical card renewals for commercial drivers.
Lofta has developed a dedicated landing page exclusively for PMTA members, providing streamlined access to its resources. The collaboration also includes educational outreach in the form of email campaigns and health seminars, emphasizing the importance of sleep health to maintain safety on the road.
