    Pretty much just left it there through the 5 day rotation and removed it for our days off. Never hurt it none. It will build up tape residue over time if you dont clean it off though.

    I imagine most teammates would not be okay with me taping a CPAP machine to a table and leaving it that way during my driving shift. Besides that, I also wouldn't want to do that because my teammate might accidentally spill a drink on my CPAP machine.

    Do you use one?

    AND why do you overthink things so ****** much?

    I never hear of any problems among the teams, many use them. I never hear problems with anyone while on the road. You assume they are fragile when they are pretty robust.

    AND if one is being used, and it gets disconnected, the person doesn't die from it.

    Yes.

    People who have an IQ in the 85th percentile and higher like to use their superior brainpower to plan ahead to solve problems.

    I think the proper question should be, if you could obtain a CDL, would you ever intend on driving a CMV with all the knowledge you’ve learned from this website?
    It’s kind of obvious you’ve never driven one, jus sayin!!!!!!
