    I'm homeless with a Texas license. I might like running out of MN though. How do drivers start their cars if they have been out of town in the winter?

    I use the ignition key to start mine.

    I went through a battery in less than a year. The last couple home times I had to jump it, and during the last home time I had to jump it every time I started it.
    It wasn't covered under the warranty because it is driven so little, so I had to buy a new one.
    I have a NOCO battery jumper, which is some of the best money I ever spent. It has saved so much money and time it has paid for itself a dozen times over.

    When I parked it this time I disconnected the negative battery terminal. We'll see how that does in the next several months.

    By the way, Inver Grove terminal was shut down a couple years ago. My home terminal is now Menasha, WI, which is the closest terminal to where I live.

    Sounds like you need a battery with more CCA Moose.

    What is involved in the Sleep Apnea Screening, they just ask you questions or actually do a sleep screening test where you sleep and hook you up to machines?

    clinic goes by your bmi to determine whether you need a test or not.

    My post was was from nineteen months ago, and you replied today, the day I took my pre employment physical for Swift. LOL

    The lady at the doctor's office measured my neck, didn't say anything. I'm tall and ectomorphic, so the sleep apnea test wasn't an issue.

    I have never had my neck measured. Why would they even do that if you are tall and skinny?

    It's the first time in 27 years anybody measured my neck during a physical.

    Did you get the (California Resident & Assigned to California terminals) What does this mean? I am confused by this one.

    I'm in another state. Although there was a poster in the office, no one mentioned the words sleep apnea. The attendant just measured my neck as casually as she took my height/weight.
