I started out with Schneider.

Stayed there almost 2 years.

I survived....then moved on to better gigs.

If I can do it -- I would offer that others can, as well.

95% of sleep apnea can be eliminated by simply losing weight and going to a net bodyweight Your body was naturally designed to hold. I know there are some cases of people who have apnea that are 110 pounds and all that but they are actually quite rare. Once you start down that path of CPAP and trying everything else under the sun, it never ends. And the results are always the same, gotta get the weight off if you want to get rid of sleep apnea. And yes, sleep apnea will kill you Faster than just about anything.
It’s a hard pill for many of us to accept in many Live in denial about it because they don’t want to face the harsh reality that they need to lose a massive amount of bodyweight. Eat meat, veggies and fruit for six months to a year, go for walks, drink water and your body will do what it’s supposed to.

 

There is flatbed duty at Roehl.

Also -- Schneider now has some flatbed accounts that are available -- depending on location.

With his weight, he may not be able to throw tarps or chains and straps.

 

Has he tried Maverick out of Little Rock Arkansas? He will have to ride with a trainer for a month but the training is second to none.

I started there ten years ago, of the 30 or so in my orientation class, all but two had no experience. About 15 made it through all the testing and securement training. They are pretty strict on there training requirements.

all auto fleet hauling mainly steel and building products. Most trucks are home on the weekend.

 

Apparently -- he needs the physical activity on some level -- to get rid of at least some of that weight.

Maybe Roehl's conestoga fleet mite do the trick?

Maverick is an outstanding opportunity -- for the right kind of person.

I saw a Maverick conestoga rig just last nite -- parked at a truckstop in SE Alabama.

Flatbed can be very hard physical labor -- especially in very windy &/or frigid conditions.

CAUTION: Some flatbed carriers may want him to lose some weight -- before they accept him past their driver orientation process; others may not. Each carrier will obviously have different criteria & weight limits.
