Hi,I've read your posts and was wondering if anyone can help.I have had my CDL's for years.Last year I was diagnosed and had testing for sleep apnia.I have been on
a cpap for a year.When I went in for my renewal the doctor would not accept my print out or my letter from sleep doctor to verify my use if cpap.they would not renew my
license without another sleep test.It's now been 2 weeks and I'm really frustrated at the whole process and lack of communication of the doctors.I fell that I have been going
above and beyond.I live in PA and was wondering if this is going to be a usual occurance with the new mandates,and maybe how do I make sure this does not happen
again next year..I can't really find any answers or info regarding the whole process.thanks

Find a new Doctor. Sleep Apnea is not a required test and surely not required at every renewal.

thanks Tazz,that is what I'm believing.

All you have to prove is that you are compliant.
You can see on this medical report the guidelines. Page 3
