    Bmi is just crap! Mine is 32 which makes me obese according the the chart. The say at six foot I should be 180 lbs. Yeah right! 210 lbs. Is a perfect weight for me. I look like a crackhead at anything below 200! They need to throw the bmi chart out! If you lift weights you can have bmi off the charts.

    Yep, I paid $2K for mine and then went to Cpap.com and seen the same model for $750. Just like everything else, people are getting ripped off.

    Schneider pays for the sleep test and the machine. I use one because I was "identified" at risk so I am required to use it. I however do not see any difference in my sleeping. In fact I wake up with headaches and blocked sinuses.

    This is so funny because in the real world it cost $100 to $600 for machine and $2000 to $4000 for the test.

    $100 for a CPAP machine that meets the requirements of DOT? You gotta start smoking better dope... that stuff is rotting your mind.

    :biggrin_2559:Two of the Ice Road Truckers would not be able to work for Prime, but I noticed they had a PRIME sized dispatcher that could.

    the way she said it seemed like she had a 2% bmi .....but i think she meant that 35% is primes cut off and she passed with a 33% a 2% diff.. well anyway that is what i think she meant.
