    IMO it's doctor just protecting their 5th point of contact from people like Wanda Lindsay of the John Lindsay Foundation who lost her husband to a drive who was said to have sleep apnea, and I quote "The mission of The John Lindsay Foundation is to promote and/or improve public awareness of the sleep apnea problem in the commercial motor vehicle industry."

    I was against the test too, so I said I'll just get a job in another field. Well after 6 months of temporary seasonal jobs and listening interviewer after interviewer ask why I left and if I could, would I go back to trucking. I said I'm going to take the #### test, and sure enough I have OSA. I just started treatment and so far i'm starting to feel better and have more energy.

    It's not that im really against the test at all . I just feel like saying oh your this fat you must take the test but I know plenty of people that are skinny that has sleep apnea. The thing that really makes me mad is I've been tested once before when I was a teenager and they said I didn't have it. But now they says that its been over 10 years and that can't count.
