    I need some info on how do companies proceed once you diagnose, do they require you to come off the road if they say you have it and it sounds like it is listed on your medical as well . Can someone inbox me if they know some detail about sleep acnea tx

    Tmc out of the Lowes DC in Frost proof is probably what you're thinking of. I got a thing about the big companies and I'm way down south 3 miles from the Hardee county line and you can't take the truck home. For now Trucks is by far the best job I've had in my 12 years no pressure I call the shots but its just a pay check like most jobs and I'd like more one day. And moving is out " wife's the bread winner " mother in law is free child care so I'm stuck for a while. I see TONS to local jobs in Polk on Craigslist have you checked there?

    Man there's jobs out the @## on there watch out for repetitive ads. When you look check out lakeland first then look at "heartland" that's Sebring area's nothing there under transportation.

    If you like overnight stuff Watkins Refrigerated is looking for local in state drivers running I believe restaurant row loads, deliver's in morning so you'd be leaving at various hours during the night, I live too far to commute or I'd have applied. I asked if it was something I could stay in truck for week with but with the different destinations some days would be Miami but could also be 2 trips nearby, oh well.... Good luck with your hunt!!!

    I talked to them to but the commute would be absurd.

    Yes Stabob, you would be about what I am just different direction, I mapped it after I spoke to them and it's 87 miles one way to their yard, could be as much as 93 depending on time of day to avoid traffic but... I was thinking for Xls though it wouldn't be too bad...

    Did the VA test you..? Sleep Pointe are quacks. If you don't feel tired, why are you going to do this to yourself..? Don't be a sheep. And for the love of god, if you can keep this off your driving background, DO IT. IT WILL NOT HELP YOU AT ALL TO HAVE DOT COMPLIANCE TO WORRY ABOUT!

    Is their yard in North Lakeland? I think most things around here only pay in the 40s annually. I'm not looking to do a bunch of finger print food service offload like mbm.
