  • Half of All Drivers Are One Exam Away From Losing Everything | Stephen Kane, Rolling Strong | Ep. 33
    Jun 17 2026

    Your drivers are one DOT exam away from losing their livelihood. And most carriers don't even know which drivers are at risk.


    In Part 2 of our conversation with Stephen Kane, President of Rolling Strong, we go deeper into the technology behind the Ready Research Program:

    - How it automatically identifies drivers on short-term cards

    - Sends targeted reminders at 90, 60, 30, 14, and 2 days out

    - Connects them with CDL-specialized health coaches before it's ever too late


    We also dive into Rolling Strong's new DOT-enabled HealthCheck Stations, Rolling Strong Flex fitness kits, and how carriers can now serve both W2 and 1099 drivers through one complete ecosystem.


    Nearly half of the 3.5 million drivers on the road today have less than acceptable medical conditions. The technology to fix that already exists. The only wrong move is doing nothing.

  • The Driver Health Crisis No One's Talking About | Stephen Kane, Rolling Strong | Ep. 32
    May 22 2026

    Most drivers don't think about their health… until they lose their medical card.

    Over 55% of drivers operate on less than a one-year medical card. 300,000 drivers a year lose their livelihood. Not because they wanted to quit, but because their health caught up with them.

    In this episode of Fit Drivers, we sit down with Stephen Kane, President of Rolling Strong, to talk about what it actually takes to keep drivers healthy, compliant, and behind the wheel for the long haul.

    From technology-driven wellness platforms to Ready to Recertify programs, this conversation is about real solutions built by someone who's lived it.

    Because doing nothing is not an option.
