W/S and BMI and sleep apnea?
Does W/S have there new drivers screened for sleep apnea, BMI, and the whole 17" neck bit?

Just curious, because it seems that a lot of bigger companies are now days. Yeah its a real pain in the neck, because im 6.0 and 220lbs with a 16 1/2" neck size, which im workin to knock off about 15 lbs to be on the safe side.

Sylvester Stallone was about 220 when he was filming Rocky ... hopefully the BMI is calculated properly and not just based on height and weight.

Well, I'm 5'9" and 220 lbs. They never said a word to me nor tried to measure my neck. So, I think you're in the clear.
Mind you, I am pure muscle.

No, they do not screen, but if sleep apnea is an issue and mentioned on the DOT physical, you may be asked about it.

No they don't. Just be up front about any medical issuses. If you have SA then you only get a medical card for 1 year. If you have a CPAP or BiPAP then you have to have one with the SD card in it.
