    Check with Swift . They and other carriers realize if all drivers with sleep apnea were disqualified there'd be a real shortage of drivers .

    You might consider getting tested for sleep apnea . If you truly don't have a problem and have it certified it will help . If you are found to have sleep apnea but have documentation the problem has been corrected you will be ahead of the game . The drivers' job market is still very tough though . Consider other careers .

    Hope you have a cpap that records your useage. For being a driver, they will download your useage out of the machine to verify.

    Also check out Schneider if you have sleep apnea... Been with SNI 10 years.. 8 of them on a CPAP.

    All the sleep apnea testing and treatment is free for company drivers. Covered as preventative treatments.
