    Fair enough. Some people don't take that stuff very well.

    Tell him about it, drop it. He can look in to it when he's fiscally stable. I had a few students that used CPAPs, not a single one of them made off with it for less than 800$ out of pocket, even with the medical plans. That's a big chunk of change for someone who's boat is already leaking.

    Yikes!! That's not cheap. Yea I just don't want him to get an ####### co driver that gets annoyed and call dispatch... Then they have him get a sleep test and create a giant problem for the guy.

    Haha


    With that being said I do have some mild sleep apnea and have a CPAP in the truck and at home and the wife says it keeps me from snoring. Guess it acts like the DPF's on the new trucks and muffles all the sound.

    That's why I think it's good that companies are making people get tested. People are in denial about having it. If you have sleep apnea it's better to know it and treat it.
