Company offers sleep apnea program for truck drivers | 
Affiliated Computer Services (ACS) and Sleep Pointe have introduced a new sleep apnea reporting service through the company’s TripPak Truck Stop SCANNING Network at TravelCenters of America and Petro locations.
The program is aimed to monitor driver usage of sleep apnea devices and is an immediate reaction to the National Transportation and Safety Board’s recommendation—which is to provide truck drivers with an effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea.
“With this service, carriers can help prevent accidents by pinpointing at-risk drivers who suffer from sleep apnea,” explained Kelly Walkup, general manager of ACS. “Most fleets lack the national infrastructure to collect and evaluate the treatment information from drivers on the road, so we see considerable demand for this type of end-to-end sleep apnea compliance reporting system.”
The reporting service will provide fleets with the infrastructure to collect sleep data from drivers, allowing for better sleep apnea prevention.
“Driver health and driver rest are critical parts of public safety,” explained Duke Naipohn, president and CEO of Sleep Pointe. “The idea behind this is to allow drivers to be monitored for compliance without forcing drivers to break their stride in their normal driving routine.”
