dunno, i have asthma, and have been diagnosed with copd. i keep 2 inhalers in my truck, one up front and one back in the bunk. actually never thought of adding a nebulizer to the truck but prob wouldn't be a bad idea. that said...
dude, if your asthma is THAT bad, then maybe you need to seek other areas of employment. it's not just the trucks, or the truckstops. i dunno, maybe it's just me but i treat my asthma with respect, and carry that inhaler with me when i'm outa the truck and i haven't had any issues. heck i load and unload sand for the oilfields and i smoke, still just deal with it. if you can't sorry man. having the feds issue ANOTHER regulation would more than likely backfire and it could end up becoming a disqualifier for many of us.Cranky Yankee, flyingmusician and 12 ga Thank this. -

You could try signing up for a sleep study, then you might get a cpap machine which you could get an air filter for. Not really sure that would filter out fumes, however it seems to help my allergies sometimes when I put the mask on.
Let's see... how many trigger words did that post contain?? Aaand go!texasbbqbest Thanks this.
