I have sleep apnea all you need to do is get your memory card read and a letter from your Dr. You will also need a copy of your first sleep test and your most recent one. The letter from your Dr. is just saying that you have it and you are being treated. no big deal you will be ok

My own bmi is also a bit high, but haven't been diagnosed with apnea yet, but I researched prime's wellness and driver fitness programs, and from what I've seen they are pretty serious about giving drivers like myself a way to improve their health, so I'm thinking of ex rolling in it once I get past orientation and get myself going on making money again, I'd love nothing more than to get my body back into the shape it was before I started driving way back in the mid 90's, and if I have to run a CPAP and it improves my alertness and stops me from shoveling crap food down my gullet just to keep awake, all the better.

Does anyone know if Prime will pay for the sleep study, if it's required? I'd like to start with them at their training school, but I know I can't afford to pay for a sleep study, and with me being overweight, it's likely I'd need to have one done for the physical. Plus, since I live in Texas it'd be very bad for me if I went to their CDL program in Missouri only to get failed out because I couldn't pay for a sleep test.
