Do all the new drivers have to do a sleep test?

Not all new drivers....unless you fit a certain criteria....i think currently its if your neck is above 17 inches.....you will learnd rather quick the new buzzword in the industry s sleep apnea.....quite a few big companies are trying to run ahead of the FMCSA on this...there is no federal requirement as of yet...but the insurance companies are pushing this.....at most companies its a way to scam drivers out of money cause they provide the cpap....but roehl isn't part of that scam....you can get your cpap from anywhere just as long as it meets a specific criteria..

 

17 inch neck or over 35% BMI. They pay for the sleep test, and then you have to pay for the C-PAP if you need it. It will help you live longer. It's a good thing.

 

no its not a law yet

 

Agreed. 2 of my uncles and my grandpa have SA. Despite the pain in the BEHIND it may be, its a good thing to know if you have it. Will help you live longer and on top of that could save your life. Long pauses in breath mid sleep is a bad condition to go undetected, needless to say. I'd consider it less of a liability reducer and more of a favor on the company's part.
