Is there a doctor in the truck?: Introducing "Doctor on Demand"

-



Have you ever been dealing with a nagging cough that just won’t go away, but you’re stuck on the road in your truck unable to visit a doctor and get yourself checked out?

Maybe you have an allergy that is acting up and you need to get a prescription so that you can take some medication and get yourself feeling right?

The lifestyle of a truck driver can make these type of routine doctor visits nearly impossible, especially if you are miles from home with nowhere to park the truck and unable to find a doctor that will see you.

Fortunately, these problems could become a thing of the past as technological advancements have allowed a company called Doctor on Demand to offer 24-hour remote coverage to individuals who need it, and you can access it right from the comfort of your truck.

HOW IT WORKS


Designed for individuals who are too sick to drag themselves out of bed, the telemedicine service allows you to connect with a licensed physician via the Doctor on Demand app (available in either the App Store or Google Play store).

Once installed, you will be able to schedule an appointment to meet with a doctor, who will consult with you via video stream. This allows you to make an appointment around your driving schedule, regardless of where you currently are in your truck. Services are available 24/7 and include consultations for anything from Urgent Care and Behavioral Health to Preventive or Chronic Care.

One of the primary benefits of the program is that it can allow you to be written a prescription that you can have filled at your convenience so that you can get back to feeling right and get back on track faster than previously possible while out on the road.

The services do have their limitations and it is recommended that you visit the nearest healthcare provider when it comes to conditions such as broken bones, severe burns, vomiting/coughing blood, lacerations, etc.

That being said, it could prove itself to be a useful resource for drivers out on the road away from a doctors office and it is something that we recommend exploring the next time that you find yourself in a situation that requires medical consultation for a condition that could be treatable through prescription.

Visit the Doctor on Demand website for more information about their coverage so you can decide for yourself if it is right for you.

If there is one thing that never changes in the trucking industry, it’s the fact that everybody is trying to make as much money as possible. While this can prove to be a challenge at times and seem out of the drivers’ control, one way for smart drivers to take back control and maximize every paycheck is by saving at the gas pump and valuing every drop of fuel that enters their truck. Listed below are five steps these drivers can take so that they can improve their MPG. BE SMOOTH While the last thing a busy driver wants to do is slow down their truck as they rush to deliver a load on time, one way drivers can save fuel consumption  while topping out at the same cruising speeds  is by taking their time to get up to speed and making an effort to stay smooth while shifting gears, accelerating and braking in their truck. Shifting before hitting high RPM in low gears might be a little bit slower, but avoiding those increased rev levels can help the truck at the gas pump...
