For Fleet Operators & Carrier Safety Directors

Fatigue is a known, screenable risk —
and HOS rules alone don't catch it

Hours-of-service rules limit driving time, but they don't screen for the conditions that cause fatigue in the first place. CDLRisk gives your drivers a private sleep-health awareness tool — and gives your fleet a documented, proactive OSA education program that strengthens your safety and Driver Fitness posture.

The problem fleets face

Drivers get blindsided at the physical

Most drivers don't know their sleep apnea risk factors until a medical examiner tells them — resulting in short cards, sleep study referrals, and drivers off the road.

📋
Short medical cards with no warning
A driver gets a 6-month or 1-year card because the examiner flagged their BMI and neck size. The driver had no idea these were risk factors. CDLRisk shows them before they walk in the door.
🛌
Sleep study referrals = weeks off the road
A mandatory sleep study can take 3–10 weeks to schedule and complete. That's a driver unavailable. Understanding risk factors early helps drivers and fleets plan ahead.
⚖️
Weight and neck size are the triggers
BMI and neck circumference are the two primary factors medical examiners use. Most drivers don't know their neck size is a factor at all — CDLRisk checks it and explains why it matters.
💊
CPAP compliance is a retention issue
Drivers with diagnosed sleep apnea must show CPAP compliance at every physical. Programs that help drivers manage weight can reduce OSA severity and improve compliance outcomes.
Why it matters

Fatigue is a known, screenable safety risk — HOS rules alone don't catch it

Hours-of-service rules limit time behind the wheel, but they don't screen for what causes fatigue. Untreated sleep apnea is common, treatable, and one of the highest-leverage places a fleet can act to prevent fatigue-related crashes — upstream, before they reach the road.

13
Lives lost in a single crash where undiagnosed sleep apnea was cited as a probable cause
In the 2016 Palm Springs motorcoach crash, NTSB found the driver's undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea a probable cause. In a separate 2018 crash, NTSB cited "the lack of a robust medical certification evaluation process to identify commercial drivers at high risk for obstructive sleep apnea." Screening upstream is how fleets get ahead of that. — NTSB
A known, foreseeable risk
Higher BMI, larger neck circumference, and age are well-documented OSA risk factors, and untreated OSA raises crash risk 1.2 to 4.9 fold. These factors are simple and non-invasive to screen for — before the DOT physical, before the road. (Tregear et al., 2009; NTSB MWL)
Aligned with FMCSA fatigue management
HOS compliance is a baseline, not a fatigue-management program. FMCSA guidance and the North American Fatigue Management Program (NAFMP) treat driver-health screening and education as core elements of managing fatigue — CDLRisk puts that into practice at the driver level.
Supports your Driver Fitness posture
A documented driver-health education program reinforces your CSA Driver Fitness posture and reflects the U.S. DOT Safe System Approach — a proactive, safety-first way to address a risk factor upstream of a crash.
How CDLRisk strengthens your safety program
Without a program
✗ No documented driver-health education program
✗ No record drivers were informed of their risk factors
✗ Fatigue risk goes unscreened until the DOT physical
✗ A reactive, incident-driven safety posture
✗ Drivers surprised by short cards and referrals
With CDLRisk deployed
✓ Documented proactive driver-health education program
✓ Timestamped record of fatigue-risk awareness
✓ Drivers see where they stand before the physical
✓ A proactive safety culture that invests in driver health
✓ Fewer surprises, healthier drivers, safer roads
Important: CDLRisk is an educational awareness tool — not a medical device and not a substitute for clinical evaluation. It does not replace DOT physicals, sleep studies, or CPAP compliance monitoring, and does not diagnose any condition or determine fitness for duty. For medical concerns, consult a qualified healthcare provider or DOT-certified medical examiner.
How it works

Three steps for your wellness program

CDLRisk integrates into your existing driver health and fitness program as a private, anonymous screening layer — no clinical infrastructure required.

1
Driver completes the assessment
3-minute private tool. Drivers enter weight, neck circumference, height, snoring symptoms, and medical card details. Everything stays in their browser — nothing is stored.
2
They see their FMCSA risk factors
The tool shows which published FMCSA-referenced factors are present in their inputs — BMI, neck size, witnessed apnea, daytime sleepiness, hypertension, diabetes. Facts only. No predictions.
3
They know their numbers before the examiner does
Drivers who understand their risk factors before the physical are better prepared for the conversation with the examiner — and more motivated to address modifiable factors like weight.
Platform features

Built for carrier wellness programs

Deploy under your brand or use as a standalone driver resource. Either way, your drivers get a practical sleep health tool that fits the OTR lifestyle.

🚛
Built for commercial drivers
Language, factors, and framing specific to CDL drivers — DOT physicals, medical card countdowns, FMCSA-referenced risk factors. Not a generic wellness tool.
🔒
Fully private and anonymous
No driver data is stored or transmitted. Everything runs in the browser. Drivers control their own information — which drives higher participation than mandatory screening.
⏱️
Medical card countdown
Drivers enter their card expiration date and get a live countdown in days. Color-coded urgency — green for plenty of time, amber under 90 days, red under 30 days.
🏷️
Run it under your own brand
Deploy as "Prime Sleep Health" or "[Your Company] Driver Wellness" — your logo, your colors, your domain. Drivers see your brand, nothing is sent to CDLRisk.
📊
Anonymized fleet data
With driver consent, aggregate anonymized data shows your wellness team the sleep health picture across your fleet — without individual identification.
📱
Works on any device
Fully mobile-optimized. Drivers complete the assessment on their phone in the cab, at a terminal, or at home — no app download required.
Designed for programs like yours

If your fleet has a Driver Health & Fitness program — CDLRisk fills a specific gap

Leading carriers already invest in wellness coordinators, registered dietitians, and fitness coaching. CDLRisk adds a sleep health layer that connects directly to weight management — the most modifiable driver of OSA risk.

Complements weight management programs
When drivers can see how their weight connects to their sleep apnea risk factors, weight loss becomes about more than appearance. It becomes about keeping their CDL.
Supports metabolic tracking initiatives
Sleep apnea, blood pressure, and metabolic health are interconnected. CDLRisk gives wellness coordinators a simple conversation starter about the weight-sleep connection.
Fits the OTR lifestyle
3 minutes on a phone. No clinic visit. No appointment. No paperwork. Designed for drivers who are on the road, not sitting at a desk.
How CDLRisk works

Free for drivers. Built for fleets.

The driver tool is free — always, no asterisk. Fleet revenue comes from licensing, where carriers deploy CDLRisk under their own brand as a documented fatigue mitigation program.
