    Ok, I am scheduled to start training in San Antonio on November 30. I have sleep apnea and currently doing CPAP. It works great for me.

    I asked the recruiter about this and she replied, "[FONT=&quot]Good Morning, thank you for letting me know about the Sleep Apena, just be sure to bring all paper work to the academy pertaining to your sleep apena please."

    I have sent a couple more emails to her trying to get clarification, but not getting a response.

    I have a sleep study done in March of this year (2011) that shows I have an AHI less than 5.0.

    well, what is the question that you have? I'm pretty sure Swift will install an inverter for a cpap machine if you need one. From what you posted here all I really can think of to tell you is same thing as your recruiter bring any and all paperwork you have on it.

    Have the doctor that did your sleep study give you a copy of the sleep study and any other info that will be helpful and bring it with you. I have sleep apnea and drove for Swift. It was no problem, and they didn't even look at the paper work I brought with me. It's just better to have it in case you need it than not have it and get sent home to get it after you get there.

    Neal, Thanks.... Sorry about not being clear on my question. My Question is, What paperwork or card reading will Swift need on my physical the first day?

    Basically, I just want to go to trucking school and graduate. I don't want to get sent home for not having a piece of paper.

    One thing for sure they have 12V machines now. They may or may not install an inverter that you provide.

    Your mentor's truck may or may not have an inverter. If they are a L/O they might not want to idle their truck all night.

    More food for thought.
