    Do you have sleep apnea? Have you been diagnosed by a doctor, or are you just worried they will diagnose you with it if you go to work for a big company? If some doctor has said you have it, you better learn to live with it if you are going to drive a truck. If you have an accident that remotely looks like you fell asleep at the wheel, and have not been using the cpap machine after having been diagnosed, you will be screwed, as well as the company you work for.

    While it is only a recommendation now, I think apnea testing may become mandatory at some point in the near future. It seems to be a pet project of Ray Lahood and with Obama's reelection he probably is not going anywhere...
