MyInfo911, a provider of emergency identification cards that offer medical history information of victims to first responders, has created the MyInfo911 emergency ID card and sticker for delivering pertinent medical information about truckers to first responders on site at any medical emergency.
In Statistical data compiled by the a Bureau of Transportation, it was found that there are currently approximately 3.5 million truck drivers in the U.S. who go on long trips across various state borders while delivering a wide range of products.
MyInfo911, which was looking for a new group that needed special attention for its products, did not have to look far and beyond as the U.S. Department of Transportation has estimated that each year more than 500,000 truck accidents take place. As more than 80 percent of communities in the U.S. are dependent on the truck transportation industry to deliver their supply of food, fuel, consumer goods and medicines, most truckers spend an excessive amount of time alone on the road.
In light of this information, MyInfo911 understood that truckers on the road were one group that could benefit largely from its range of products. Adding to the risk of motor accidents, the company realized that truckers typically lead sedentary lifestyles which can give rise to the risk of the truckers developing health complications from conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, respiratory problems, and coronary problems.
In most instances, when a medical emergency strikes, a trucker is most likely to be alone and far from home or any medical help. However, the MyInfo911 emergency ID card and sticker which the trucker carries on his person 24/7, can provide first responders with critical medical information of the victim which can help them provide the correct emergency treatment. The MyInfo911 emergency ID card can also send emergency medical alerts to the victim’s relatives and the company in the event that an emergency strikes.
One of the best things that trucking companies can do is to equip their workforce with the MyInfo911 emergency ID card to ensure their safety over long lonely trips on the road, according to company officials. Established in 2010, MyInfo911 is a provider of emergency ID cards which leverage QR codes to deliver first responders and other medical providers with critical medical information of the victim.
