    I had to drive almost 2 hours for mine. Well worth it for me. When it comes to that sleep thing, I'd say nothing unless someone else does first. Unless you already feel you have an issue with it of course.

    Welp, got a plan for when my 34 is up. Take this empty to Moss Motors in Goleta CA for a live load. Then drop it in our Colton CA drop yard. 532 MT and 159 LD miles. It's the first leg in getting my truck back to VA for some much needed TLC. Love it when a plan comes together. :)

    Yeah, I'm not going to say a word. You remember any sleep apnea questions on any of the forms? Years past DOT physicals I always marked on the forms that I had a sleep apnea test performed with a negative result. I'm not sure if that would flag the question or not. Now I debate with myself to tell the whole truth or not, lol.

    No issue's sleeping what so ever.

    It is not bs. I have it if it wasn't for trucking I wouldn't know I had it. I would of just continued to fall asleep at long red lights and blame this and that as the reason for nodding off.

    As I've said to others, if they even asked me (they didn't), once I stopped laughing, I'd tell them there's no way they could understand my "normal" sleep schedule. Now add in trucking where my "go to bed time" can be anywhere on the 24hr dial from day to day and ask them to understand that. Not many who don't drive can. lol

    Sleep apnea? WTF be that? :biggrin_2559:

    There were sleep questions on my physical. To which I responded no issues. Really none of their business how I sleep, anyways. Worried about our sleep? Do away with those barbaric anti-idling laws. I sleep soundly at 64 to 68 degrees F.

    When criminals sleep in heat and AC and law abiding citizens can't, thank a liberal.
     
    ChrisL, chralb and Finfn1372 Thank this.
