    42 is the limit, I believe. It may be 45... It is measured by height vs. weight. I discovered I am a little short for my weight, but I came out okay.

    They take your weight, height and neck size! If your neck size is of 17 inches you will have to have a sleep study test. It happen to me about 5 weeks ago.

    Hi... I asked my recruiter about that and she asked my H/W. Said I was under the 39 so I was good to go (as far as that).
     
    paratroop73 Thanks this.

    How was the sleep study done? How long did it take? Did Prime pay for it?

    Done by the outside vendor Sleep Pointe at The Campus Inn. One night. No, but they can set you up with an intrest free payment plan.

    I hear they may be lowering that number.

    Perhaps somebody knows what to.
