Driver received a reduced 3-month DOT certificate due to a sleep apnea prescreening at Concentra and is worried about FMCSA/DMV getting the report and losing ability to drive long-term.

No clear guidance or tool to help drivers understand DOT sleep apnea rules, fight employer-imposed testing requirements, or navigate getting a second opinion from their own doctor instead of a chain clinic like Concentra.

Sends alerts when a clinic report flags a condition and provides step-by-step guidance to protect their medical certificate.

Key Features

Physical exam history tracker with certificate expiration reminders
Sleep apnea risk calculator based on FMCSA guidelines (BMI, neck size, symptoms)
Directory of DOT-certified independent medical examiners rated by drivers
Anonymous dispute tool to challenge clinic findings and submit alternative medical opinions

Target Users: Owner-operator truck drivers and fleet safety managers in the US trucking industry, particularly those subject to random sleep apnea screening by chain clinics

Revenue Model: $9.99/mo per driver subscription or $79.99/year; enterprise plans for small fleets at $4.99/driver/mo
