We care about our drivers at ShipEX, and we have the benefits to back it up. ShipEX understands drivers struggle to find affordable medical insurance for their spouses and children. The broker team that manages the benefits for ShipEX has helped drivers insure their spouses for a little as $7.00 per month.
ShipEX provides health insurance plans to all of its truck drivers. Not only do they offer a standard healthcare insurance option, but they also cover the premiums 100%.
ShipEX believes in taking care of trucking industry professionals and ensuring they do not neglect their health due to trouble finding health insurance.
Health insurance is essential for truck drivers as they spend long hours on the road. Sitting behind the wheel can cause serious health issues. In fact, 70% of truck drivers have severe health conditions.
We want to help lower this statistic.
Truck Drivers Deserve Health Insurance
A doctor’s visit can help clear up an issue before it becomes a critical illness so you can get back on the road.
Many drivers do not take these health insurance options from other companies as the insurance premiums are too expensive and not designed for people constantly on the road. ShipEX has chosen a plan that helps resolve these issues.
Our health insurance can save you an average of $14,500 yearly premiums so you can take care of yourself and your wallet.
The ShipEX Difference
Driver’s health is vital. Due to the long hours behind the wheel, many drivers struggle to find the time to stop for a routine appointment. ShipEX is determined to ensure that our drivers are in the best of health.
Health insurance for truck drivers is complicated as they do not always know where they will be and when they will be there. ShipEX ensures that we pay for every one of our drivers’ health insurance.
We Do What’s Right for Our Drivers
Paying for our drivers’ health insurance is the right thing to do. We care about every one of our professional truck drivers. Instead of ignoring the warning signs of becoming sick, we want you to talk to a doctor, get the medical care you need, and get back to feeling 100% as fast as possible.
Our Health Benefits Made Simple
ShipEX cares about the health of our drivers. We do this by not only providing health insurance but also covering the premiums of that health insurance.
We know drivers want to take care of their health concerns and return to the road promptly. Traditional health insurance can make this difficult as the driver may not always be able to find a provider that is in-network wherever they are on the road.
We want to make it as easy as possible to make the most of our health insurance. We have made sure that it is easy for our drivers to find providers while on the road to get the help they need.
Here is how we do it:
Truck Driver Health Insurance That’s Different
Trucking companies often offer health insurance coverage, but we make sure that the health insurance plans serve our drivers at ShipEX. We want to ensure our drivers are in good health and have access to the necessary coverage.
