    FYI if you get your endorsment with your permit then for to mo to get CDL you will have to pay to xfer the endorsment. Then when you go to your state to xfer CDL you will pay again for xfer of endorsments. That is why prime does not have you get your hazmat until you xfer cdl to state of residence. Thus you only pay once

    not everyone takes a sleep test. Certain factors in your physical make one require it. BMI is biggest. Neck Size and throat opening is the another. I was ok bmi but my neck is 20 inches and my throat was small. For the test I just woke up at like 4am the day before and drank no caffine after noon and fell asleep quick.

    More than likely you will be fine. BMI is 26, I think Prime trips at 29ish. BMI is only ONE of the criteria used to determine your need for a sleep test. Neck size is another, but I think you are ok there too.

    Well that not all of the wires. Some wires are attached to your legs to detect RLS or Restless Leg Syndrome. RLS is also a sleep disorder that may cause repetitive cramping, jerking and involuntary movement (nervous) of the legs during sleep. Such leg movements further disrupt your sleep and need to be addressed.

    I'm a big wuss but I took the test about four years ago and didn't have any problems with spontaneous combustion and neither will you. Let 'em do the test if need be to get a good job.
