Urgent Care Travel ("UCT") is a Limited Liability Company based in Florida. The company is jointly owned by J & S Capital and Urgent Care America, LLC ("UCA").

UCT operates urgent care centers located at Pilot Flying J Travel Center facilities. These urgent care sites specialize in services provided to professional truck drivers and travelers of the United States interstate system. With the new regulations governing the provision of medical exams that are the basis for driver medical certification status (qualification of drivers as healthy enough to safely operate heavy equipment and trucks on the highways), access to "certified" medical providers are somewhat limited. Additionally, those services are often not readily accessible by drivers who require parking for their equipment and whose schedules are increasingly impacted by newly required rest periods, driving limits and the need for improved productivity. Prior to these new regulations, known as CSA 2010 (Compliance Safety Accountability Act of 2010), there had been limited governance of the providers offering medical examinations of professional drivers known as DOT Exams (Department of Transportation). Given limited governance, the number of providers offering these services had grown to over 400,000 but the new certification standards are expected to significantly reduce this number.

UCT's focus is to enhance access to certified DOT examinations by opening clinics located at Pilot Flying J Travel Centers which are generally located on the nation's interstate highways, which are frequent stopping points for drivers. In addition to professional drivers, UCT serves the communities and businesses around their locations as well as other travelers in need of medical attention. Other services include random drug screens (also required by DOT standards) and sleep apnea testing and treatment.

The company was founded by James A. "Tony" Barber, who serves as its CEO. Its first two locations were opened in 2013 in Knoxville, TN and Oklahoma City, OK.

Plans include the opening of 100 such locations by the end of 2016.
