    Not sure when I will be back in Wisconsin, they tell me today after I get done driving another 200+ miles round trip for my DOT physical, that they don't have a truck for me. They are not sure when they will have. So they won't make any plans to move me from home til they are sure they will have a truck??? Adam didn't sound real encouraging. So now I wait, I guess. Just not sure for how long.

    nope workmans comp ended when the doctor released me to return to work. I don't know how long they will make me wait. I had been warned about this. I am going to email my travel agent again in the morning, and see. He has been all upbeat about my return right up til today... So now I am left to wonder what the heck is going on???

    I would question the reasoning for the sleep study and if this is policy or some bull. Do they have all drivers coming back do it? Get an explanation for sure. Shady stuff!

    I have to go through all the qualification that a brand new driver has to go through. If your BMI is over a certain level, and your neck is bigger than 17", then you have a sleep study. Even if you have been and employee for almost 5 years.

    I guess everyone will be going through it with the next physical, if your bmi is over like 28 or something, and your neck is over 17" your physical will only be good for six months, until you have a sleep study done... At least that was the explanation that I got today. They still have no idea when they are going to have a truck ready for me, or how they are going to get back to Marshfield when they do... Hurry up and wait. I have been jumping through hoops for the last 8 months trying to get so I could return, and now they seem like they don't want me back. I do know this, I will not sit here for long, if something doesn't open up in the next few days, I am going looking...
