    Can anyone tell me, preferably a CPAP user with Schneider, what you use to power your machine as a company driver? Spoke with a recruiter who, surprisingly (sarcasm) didn't know. Also, what is the idle policy for a company driver and is it different for O/O's.

    They give you a battery that you charge during the day, then use to power your cpap machine at night.

    There is a "portable" battery system they came up with . it has a 12v outlet in the kit. You will get issed a 12v adapater for your cpap. Just need to make the clal to precsion pulmunary diagnostic. thats the company that administers the cpap program for SNI. They give you the supplies you get too. I dont know if it was my 2010 that couldnt handle it or what but I had issues with charging the battery in this system. kept blowing fuses in the truck.

    Heard idle temp range has been adjusted, but not confirmed. It WAS/IS between 20 -70 no idling. Auto shutoff temp sensor in the trucks now.

    You'll sign a waiver, on the battery pack. As long as u stay at sni they won't charge, if you leave and take it with you they'll charge you $250 for the pack.

    Schneider tanks or van? I'm thinking, eventually, I would like to try my hand at SNI Choice.

    If that is the case on choice, you'll need van.
