    Someone like me who is starting out, about to join a CDL school here at the local college, would i need to be worried about this Sleep apnea crap?...I'm honestly about 6'2 265 pounds, so starting out when the school sends me to the doctor for my First DOT physical, would i get disqualified??? :biggrin_2552:

    may sound like a dumb question, but i need to know these things, or at least get some kind of opinions.

    Thanks.

    Just to go to school? Not likely. Getting hired on would depend on the company. And you may not even need to be tested despite your size , etc. Depends also on the survey.

    Dont sweat it. Cross that bridge IF and/or when you need to.
