Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Does Crete require their drivers/new hires to take a sleep study test?

 

Does the company doctor use any other criteria than weight and neck messurement to determine whether a driver has to take a sleep apnea test?

 

Currently sitting at the Coldwater, MI Wally DC waiting for my trailer to be unloaded. Saw a Shaffer in a door and thought of this thread.

 

60 pallet load of Hershey weighing a whopping 3555lbs..lol

 

Last week was bad, this week I'll have about 3300mi after delivery tonight. Got a preplan while getting loaded for a 1500ish mile start to next week. Hopefully keep it up

 

You hear so many stories about sleep apnea and I don't know much about it. I never had a doctor recommend that I have one. I am 76, 6'1", 210 lbs. and have a 17" neck and my wife says I snore sometimes. My doctor recommended that I use Breathe Right nose strips at night and they have helped a lot. If I follow those charts for BMI I am over the normal numbers. My weight and neck size hasn't changed since high school and all my other numbers appear normal so if I were still driving I would be against having a sleep apnea test.
