    **Bangs head.

    I feel like putting on some kind of Rodney Dangerfield from the 80's show up in Crete and say is there a #### dispatcher around here in this neighborhood?

    I have got a CPAP, and I have been using it for the last 2 years, and I can tell you right now. Crete cannot force me to buy one, when I already have one, and I absolutely love this one. To override opti-idle. Just bump up your cruise on your truck. They ask me why. I will say I didn't want my sleep to be disturbed, I'm trying to stay in compliance. I don't need no disturbance when the truck cuts on and off with my CPAP. If that's a problem. Tell me now. I will ask them that before I come over. I'm not going to waste their time or mine either. I got too much experience to be wasting my time on one. I would love to work for Crete, but I'm not going to play their game. They going to find out before I come over. It's call C.Y. A. If they say anything about it in orientation. You can say so and so said it was okay, and tell them who said it was, and give everything, and their rxtension, and say the name, and what their title, and that way you have covered yourself well. They're thinking, this guy covered his tracks very well. All these companies are going to cover their tracks.

    Bumping the idle speed up doesn’t override the idle timer on every truck, that’s up to whoever programs the truck.
    And they have a list of CPAP machines you’re allowed to use,maybe yours is on it.

    I'm just saying if I decide to come there to work. I am like someone else I like the idea to idle my truck because of my CPAP machine. I have a 100% usage out of it. That's well above DOT compliance.

    Yes its a very decent company to work:new trucks(strip down or not)2500-3000 mls a week,and high cpm.
    I worked for them twice,got terminated twice,as soon as someone become a liability its done deal,nothing personal,i meet drivers who live in this fantasy"oh the company cares about the drivers"and all that bs.My 1 year suspension will be over in a 3 months so i might come back,7 years i lasted,thats way more than the average.

    Why not keep it simple and work for a company that has APU's on the trucks?

    Because Crete used to have APU's underneath their sleepers. How would you know about severe sleep apnea? Perhaps, this might be a conversation put out of your ballpark. After all, you're from China, since that's the name you chose to use in this forums. I would take a bowl of rice, please. If you don't mind, and thank you.
