Sleep Apnea testing

Not sure how Schneider does it but the sleep study place I went sent me home with a small little strap that goes around your Chest, a hose for your nose, and a oxygen meter for your finger. Sleep, as best as you can with it on and then then you take it back and they let you know within a few days y

 

Cerberus what does something like that cost?

 

After all was said and done my company at the time (CFI), was gonna set me up a payment plan to pay them back. Which the grand total was $900. I paid them off same day, I had the money, however I knew they probably got a decent discount on it.

 

First I would never take this, if you take it and even if you pass you have to list it on the questionnaire for your future medicals, it ask have you ever participated in a sleep study.
If the company is requiring it then they should pay for it, Schneider claims to pay for the sleep study and machine if needed.

 

That's on you. I for one am glad my dot doctor told me to go get one. I've never slept better.

 

Me too!!

 

I’ll sell you a brand new machine right now.

 

My older brother uses a cpap.
I have a few friends who use them.
They are all pleased and say they are much more rested.
The last few years I haven't felt well rested.
Friends told me to get tested.
I did a home test and was told I have mild sleep apnea.
The doctor said I could get a cpap or I could get fitted with a mouth piece.
That was a few months ago. I have not gone back to the doctor due to the lockdown and precaution.
I haven't driven a truck for a few years.
If I go back to trucking and have a cpap I consider just keeping it a secret.
On the other hand, if I am asked at a dot physical I might feel compelled to tell them.

 

Of course. I could get back to the gym and lose 40 lbs. That might fix the problem.
Slept pretty well when I was slim.
