    When I worked at Cemex we had to go to specific places.

    Several of us actually had to go to one of the local hospitals. A percentage of the drivers is required, and it was always the same 3 or 4 guys. They were very tough. The doctor even said they were trying to weed people out.

    I know about 20 other drivers in my company that had to do the sleep apnea testing. Most of them said they passed.

    My husband has sleep apnea. He's in compliance so our company doesn't give him any problems.

    Well I am overweight. I like to eat. I like fast food, restaurant food, homecooked meals, healthy food, unhealthy food. I want it all. I have a beer belly because I've consumed a lot of beer. I would say stop fussing about getting a one year card. At least you got a card. Either roll with the punches or change your habits OP.

    I’ve noticed all the people working in the Drs office are overweight. I have to bite my tounge, not to be rude, when they suggest I lose a few pounds.Just doing their Jobs. But I’m tempted to say “ Look who’s talking”. Lol. The sad part is they’re young folks, headed for joint replacements, and health issues, sooner than myself.

    Not so much here, maybe in Wisconsin. I've found, healthcare generally attracts women that aren't supermodels. Sweetheart, caring people, just a little wide. Probably for the best, supermodel nurses could be a problem,,:eek: psst, that's buddyd's cue to post pictures of supermodel nurses,,,
