US company launches a telehealth service for truckers

Trucker's Body Shop is transforming health access for America's trucking community. The telehealth platform — created by truckers and led by medical professionals — offers affordable, accessible healthcare tailored specifically to truck drivers and their unique lifestyle needs.

By delivering weight loss programs, general health services, and fitness resources directly to the trucking community - Trucker's Body Shop ensures that drivers and their families can prioritize health no matter where the road takes them.

How does it work?

Trucker's Body Shop has designed a seamless, on-the-go healthcare platform that addresses the unique health challenges of truck drivers. Services are structured for convenience, with telehealth consultations that align with truckers' demanding schedules, personalized wellness plans for nutrition and fitness, and access to medications for common health concerns. An app simplifies food choices and wellness tracking, while prescription deliveries are scheduled to fit with drivers' home time and travel plans.

Pricing remains transparent, with no hidden fees, and is adaptable based on medication, dosage, and treatment duration, with options starting at $79 per month. Programs like the semaglutide weight loss service at $175 per month include physician support and discounted access to therapies for other health needs, from smoking cessation to sexual health.

Why does it matter?

"Truckers are the backbone of our economy, yet they often face substantial barriers to receiving the healthcare they need," explains Garrett Steenblik, founder and CEO.

Trucker's Body Shop is bridging this gap by providing competitively priced healthcare that mirrors costs seen in other countries and simplifies medication access with fixed monthly costs. In a profession where healthcare access is often neglected, this service ensures that truckers can focus on their health without sacrificing time or income.

By bringing vital health services directly to the trucking community, Trucker's Body Shop is setting a new standard for industry-specific healthcare.

The context

The founders, Garrett Steenblik and Bob Perry, bring personal and professional insight to the mission of improving trucker health. Inspired by his own 200-pound weight loss journey while on the road, Steenblik wanted to create a solution that would empower truckers to maintain their health despite their hectic schedules. Perry, with over three decades of experience as an advocate for trucker wellness, brings his expertise as a Medical Review Officer and an executive board member of the Convenient Care Association — which governs retail clinics nationwide. Together, they have built a service dedicated to supporting truckers through partnerships with industry groups like Women In Trucking and initiatives like the FIT Drivers podcast, emphasizing a commitment to the health of America's truckers.

Ultimately, Trucker's Body Shop is more than a telehealth service — it is a revolution in how healthcare is delivered to those who drive the economy forward. Pun intended.
