    It's just a drop. If you're almost out of hours, there is a casino about a half hour or so west, exit 61 or something like that. That's where I like to spend my resets ;)

    Restart? What the hell is that? My DM doesn't like me doing restarts. Only time I ever get one of those is when I'm at home other wise I'm running recycled hours and it wears me out. I'm over hear in Willcox,AZ at the TA now sitting till Monday morning for delivery in Tucson FINALLY getting in a restart even though I left the house a couple days ago. Just enjoying the R&R because it'll be back to ball busting come Monday. I brought home $1,100 last week after a multi drop in NYC which I'll never do again.

    Bob is saying that, but I think the cost of the test itself will make it for use in certain instances, ie: after a wreck, lost load, etc. But I could be wrong.

    Can anyone tell me if Melton is doing the "sleep Apnea" testing? I know some places do and will require you to use a cpap machine and be monitored. Thanks for any info you can give!

    I do not know. From what I remember from my physical, the only way Melton will know about it is if you tell them about it....

    If it is documented on medical records or the like, then I'm sure they will require the use of the cpap, seeing as how health conscious they are..
     
    ATruckerWidow Thanks this.
