    we use Concentra here in Charlotte,NC and they don't measure necks or ask questions about sleep.

    do the companies maybe specify that parameters for testing or how strict?

    While that is true, the DOT guy can demand proof. Had a buddy do a home sleep study that came back as no apnea. He has to go do the full blown sleep diag center for an overnight observance and get a diagnoses of not needing a cpap before the DOT guy would write out a med card for him.
