    If yiur BMI is off will Millis send you home or offer help with a sleep study?

    As far as I know there is no BMI requirement with Millis that Ive heard of and Ive been with them 3 1/2 years. However you do have to be able to climb in and out of trailers to secure loads etc so if that's an issue then it might be a problem. However i know several drivers that carry a small step ladder to assist them getting in/out of trailers.

    You didn't say if you had your DOT Med Card or not. If you have your med card, all Millis needs is a copy of the card and accompanying long form that your Dr. Fills out. I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP and it never came up once I got my card. There were a couple of larger guys in my class and it was never brought up so if you can get your DOT card, you should be okay...at least where that is concerned.

    Hope that helps answer your question.

    For your own health, have a sleep study done if you think you may have sleep apnea. It's a much more dangerous condition than most people think and it can cause many health related issues...stroke and heart disease, for example. If you already have your DOT card...no worries from Millis' standpoint.
