TMC Orientation & Apnea

I received an email from my recruiter, Dawn, 3 weeks ago. They require 90 days CPAP use.

Background: I went to training on Dec 5 2016, sent home the next morning. DoT said I fit the profile. Turns out I had a moderate case.

So with sleep apnea what are your options?

 

I get treatment for it. Then it's the same as anyone else.

Some companies differ.

TMC requires you use the device for 90 days, then have an evaluation and if it's working, and CME gives you a DoT card, you're golden. As far as I've been told.

Roehl told me if my local CME approves a DoT card they'll accept it no matter what.

After talking to my CME they will give me a card if I'm within specs (use 70% of time, 4hr per night etc, and it's helping) after 30 days, card for 1 year.

I haven't spoken to others. I'm most likely going to hold out for TMC.

Would a sleep test I had done 5 years ago that found nothing effect your ability to be hired?

 

If it didn't find anything then there is no reason to mention it unless they ask

 

You never have to tell about tests you've had, only diagnosed issues. So no, a test that showed nothing is not something you need to worry about discussing.
