Sleep Apnea and Medical Release?

Forget Prime; go to another company.
Since you're on APAP any company may want to see the readout to insure you're in compliance.
Where is your location? How old are you?
www.rpmhst.com has sleep apnea supplies and information.

 

I think it's unlikely Prime will re-hire you. Move on with your career somewhere else. Try these companies & in a few months when you're 23 there will be a hundred companies to choose from:
Green Transportation - Holland,Michigan
Abilene Motor Express
Navajo Express
Trekker Logistics
Melton Truck Lines
System Transport
Contract Freighters (www.cfidrive.com)
NTB Trucking
Super Service
Southern Refrigerated Transport
Veriha Trucking
Magnum Ltd.

 

Ask the company. They probably have their own recommended doctor that can do the data download. Let the company ask all the questions. Some companies won't require another physical, they'll accept your current medical card.

Do the online applications before any phone calls.
Stay in compliance with the sleep apnea machine!

I don't know about all the Prime stuff, but you APAP should have an SD card that has all the data. You just pop it out and a sleep doctor can read it. They can also download your data because the APAP must have a cell phone data. Resmed APAP all have built in wireless data reporting using cell phone data. So you can call the people that gave you the machine and they can also email the sleep report data to a doctor. You can also download a program called Sleepyhead and you can see you own data that's on the SD card if you want.

Maybe Prime will still hire you. I'm just pointing out if you have the APAP and don't work for Prime I would think someone is going to want to get paid for the APAP machine. Usually they want to see 30 days of APAP usage for a new driver. Since you kinda got yourself off the truck they probably would want 30 or more days usage to see your using it 4+ hour a night and it working before they let you back on since you said you were still tired because you just got on the APAP. It takes 30+ days for you to adjust and get back to some normal sleep. My sleep doctor would not let be drive untill they had 30 days of usages. Then they also wanted a Wakefulness Sleep Test. Before I could drive because I was new to sleep apnea and did not have say a 90 day sleep report to show. The Wakefulness Sleep Test is just we're you sit in a dim light room for like 45 minutes and they just make sure you don't fall asleep. You get like 30 minute break and they do this 2 more time.

It kinda all depends on the doctor giving the D.O.T physical. Once I told my D.O.T doctor I was new to sleep apnea and gave him copy of my Wakfulnes Sleep Test, he let me go. The second year he wanted to see a 90 day sleep report from my CPAP. He said he would have like to see more days but I did not know how to get it. Then I found out were my sleep data was going to and I can now call them and they can fax a copy to any D.O.T doctor if needed. I would guess they can go back more then 90 days if I asked.
