After reading this thread I went ahead and scheduled a sleep study through my primary care physician. The sleep clinic sent me home with this halo device I had to wear on my head. It had three leads that pressed against my forehead, and a fourth one on a collar that the halo device hooked into through a black cord. I had these clear lines I had to put in my nose. Let me tell you I should of put myself in a Nyquil coma before trying to sleep with that thing because it was really hard to. The clear plastic lines hurt my nose, and the halo thing was uncomfortable to sleep with in any position. I think I only slept an hour while I laid there half asleep for four hours, and fully awake for at least three hours.
I have to turn the machine in this morning and get this collar cut off me. I never once hit a deep sleep during the time I had it on, so if I test positive for sleep apnea I'll know for sure I was scammed.

Sorry it didn't work out with CRETE.What about going back to Heyl,don't they have local drivers where you live?
-
I haven't called them. You have to park the equipment at their yard. That would be a 45 minute drive each way for I think $140 or $150 per day. Tampa is not much further.

You left Heyl on good terms I think they'll be more then happy to rehire you and work with you on finding a place near your home to park the trk.
