About Road Calm

Mission Statement

To support and empower truck drivers through accessible mental wellness tools designed specifically for life on the road—combining AI technology, empathy, and real-world insight to improve the health and happiness of truck drivers around the world.

Vision Statement

To revolutionize the global trucking industry by making mental and emotional well-being a priority, helping millions of truck drivers feel supported, balanced, and resilient, no matter how far the road takes them.

Driving Wellness Forward

Road Calm was created with one purpose in mind: to change the way truck drivers care for their mental and emotional health. As one of the most essential yet underserved workforces in the world, truck drivers face long hours, isolation, erratic schedules, and relentless pressure—all while keeping the global supply chain moving. Traditional wellness tools simply weren’t designed with drivers in mind. So we built one that is.

Road Calm is a mobile wellness app tailored to the unique lifestyle and challenges of truckers, offering tools that support their minds as much as their routes. With guided journaling, mindfulness resources, and an AI-powered wellness coach available 24/7, Road Calm helps drivers manage stress, stay mentally sharp, and maintain emotional balance no matter where they are.

This isn’t just another self-help app—it’s a digital companion built for the long haul.

The Story Behind Road Calm

Road Calm was founded by James Fuentes, an Over-the-Road (OTR) truck driver who knows first-hand the physical and emotional demands of life behind the wheel. After years of living the trucking lifestyle, James realized there were countless tools for managing freight, fuel, and routes—but almost nothing for managing well-being for truckers.

"I've experienced the loneliness, the time away from family, the strain on personal relationships, the attack on our eating habits, and the long, stressful days. All of it can put enormous pressure on our overall well-being as truckers. Trucking is no easy environment, and it takes desire, willingness, and a good attitude to take care of ourselves. Road Calm is here, and I hope it can change the lives of many truckers around the world, including my own."

James Fuentes

With his deep understanding of the industry and a passion for mental health advocacy, James partnered with designers, developers, and AI experts to create Road Calm—an app that feels like a co-pilot for your well-being. Every feature in Road Calm is built around the realities of trucking: the tight schedules, the unpredictable breaks, the need for quick, simple tools that work in real time.

Built for Drivers. Backed by Experience.

What makes Road Calm different is that it’s designed from the cab up. It’s not a rebranded meditation app or a generic productivity tool. It’s built by someone who lives the lifestyle and understands the silent struggles that often go unseen in the trucking world.

With Road Calm, truckers can:

  • Check in with their mood and track mental health over time with science-backed journaling

  • Get support from an intelligent AI wellness coach trained to provide calming prompts and motivation

  • Practice guided breathing and mindfulness tailored to the rhythm of their daily routes

  • Feel seen, heard, and supported—even on the most difficult days

And we’re just getting started.

A Global Movement for Trucker Wellness

While Road Calm began in the United States, the need for trucker well-being is universal. Truck drivers around the world face many of the same challenges—long isolation, physical strain, emotional stress, and a lack of resources to help them stay mentally strong. Our goal is to bring Road Calm to truckers everywhere, creating a global movement where drivers can care for themselves just as much as they care for their cargo.

Join the Journey

At Road Calm, we believe wellness is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. And for the people who keep the world moving, it should be accessible, affordable, and designed with heart. Whether you're a seasoned driver, just getting started, or someone who supports a trucker you love, Road Calm is here for the journey.

Founded by a truck driver. Built for truck drivers. Road Calm is wellness that rides with you.

"It's time to uplift every truck driver around the world, because they deserve it and are a crucial part of our world."
