    If you have decent credit get a loan to make a few house payments and to take the test.

    I had a home test and bought a used machine and new supplies. Was about $1k all in, probably could be done for less. The thing is you need the treatment time to show the therapy works for you. At this point I don't see any way for you to get around this.

    I had put in 2 weeks at old job and was headed to the new one. I needed to make better money as I was only making 130 a day. That blew up in my face big time.

    Get a loan large enough to cover the test and a few house payments.

    Go to work for Schneider for a week or two. Their DOT physical is the hugest cattle walk on the planet. You do your own sleep apnea survey. Correct answer on said survey is " NO ", just like the rest of the questions.

    SHAZAM !!!!! Two year card.

    Drive a load or two. Take your card, and live happily ever after.

    How can you certify yourself you ask? It's mega / government trucking and they need drivers, so the rules need not necessarily apply.
