    I know this has been asked before.
    Was wondering if Schneider has a mandatory sleep study requirement for ALL drivers?

    Might depend on which office, a friend of mine just went Orange, he's a fairly big guy.they did not hit him up for it. When he was at prime,prime did.

    I'm not concerned about having sleep apnea. would not be asked to take a study by physical regs. just didn't know if anyone required everyone to take one.
    I'm well within what people would consider "normal" sizing I guess you'd say. BMI and neck size are under the req for a study.

    It was a thread in the schneider area that discusses the issue of bmi, sleep study, and was titled Sleep Apnea.

    I believe it would be what you wanted.

    No matter what size you are, if you dose off during orientation they will send for a sleep study.
    By the way I love the choice program

    There is a little quiz you will take to see if they will send you for the study. No cost to you. Loaner machine, no cost to you til insurance kicks if you have apnea. Then insurance covers 100%. No cost to you. Supplies sent every 6 months, no cost to you. Compliance monitoring company works with driver for d load info and sends the report to driver to show DOT Dr. to see come physical time SNI is model for what companies should do and how they treat drivers with apnea. Tops in this area.
