Add years
to the road.
Long hours in the seat, truck-stop food and short sleep take years off a driver's life. Rec Time gives you workouts that fit a cab and a 30-minute break, a scanner that grades what you eat, and a crew to keep you going.
Free if you're verified anywhere in Tea Technologies. Otherwise a one-time $2 card check. Nothing renews.

Built for the road
- Workouts that fit the cab
27 workouts and 93 exercises, 16 of them made for the truck cab, plus parking-lot, hotel-room and gym options. Programs like Road PPL and Long Haul Mass run 8 to 12 weeks. No gym needed.
- Scan before you buy
Point your phone at a barcode and get a 0 to 100 score from 430,000+ USDA products and Open Food Facts, with a better pick from the same shelf.
- Truck-stop menus, graded
Love's and Pilot Flying J hot food, roller grill, fountain drinks and coffee, 428 items in all, plus fast-food chains. See the sugar and sodium before you order.
- Crews that keep you going
Share workouts with your fleet or drivers on your lanes, give kudos, run challenges and message your crew. Find crews by state or lane. Your location is never shared.
For carriers
Start a fleet crew, send your drivers the invite code, and run challenges like "500 minutes this month." Leaderboards and challenges show you the crew's totals, never anyone's food log or health details, so drivers can join without feeling watched.
- Fleet crews with an invite code
- Crew challenges by minutes, workouts or active days
- Totals only for carriers: no per-driver leaderboard names
- Drivers choose which workouts to share
See every move
All 93 exercises come with a looping demo, so you know the form before you try it. They play right in the workout, next to the reps and the timer.

Start today
- 30 minutes, 5 days
Aim for 30 minutes of activity on five days a week. Three 5 to 10 minute walks around the lot count.
- Pack the cooler
Bring meals and snacks from home so the truck stop isn't your only option. When it is, scan before you buy.
- Drink water, not your calories
A 40 oz fountain root beer at Love's has 111 g of sugar, per Love's own guide. CDC suggests drinking more water to fight fatigue. Keep a refillable bottle in the cab.
- Seven or more
Get seven or more hours of sleep a night. Short sleep is one of the risk factors NIOSH tracks in drivers.
