DOT physicals among health offerings at GATS

HealthReturning this year to the Great American Trucking Show will be the Landstar Health and Wellness Pavilion.

A new feature for the pavilion this year will be U.S. Department of Transportation physicals conducted by AccuScreen. The physicals will be available for $59. Free sleep apnea screenings provided by the St. Christopher Truckers Development and Relief Fund, a nonprofit that helps drivers whose medical problems have led to financial hardship, will also be available. With the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration working to develop a rulemaking dealing with truckers with sleep apnea, GATS provides an opportunity to get tested for free to know where you stand.
