    Or get hit by a flying turd from driving behind an Arabian who ####s in a hole in the floor of his sleeper. I can confirm they do this lol. I used to work at a Kentucky Rest Area.

    Why worry about what they will ask?. Use the cpap to the satisfaction of the Dr issuing your medical certificate, then apply to the companies of your choice. You will probably need an inverter to plug the cpap in, so make sure the truck company can accommodate that.

    Recruiters and truck company admin staff are not medical professionals, highly unlikely they will know or care about cpap calibration.

    They should. If not the difference will be about 200 or so. Well worth it.

    They just want to know you have it. They may, however, want a report from the machine to ensure compliance. Mist machines now have a blue tooth connection and an SD card so you will be fine.

    I have been on CPAP for 6 years so if you have any questions please feel free.

    all companies do NOT have cameras watching drivers. One hacker builds a robot vacuum & that same day the world is run by evil robots. smh

    I'm very overweight and it is hard to get a DOT card without a sleep study for heavy people. Most heavy people have sleep apnea.
