    Need proof its being treated, you would then have to get the machine and begin treatment. I also told you that it differs from D.C.to D.C. as to whether or not they will pay for it all or if you must pay. So that brings me to ask this, did you call the safety manager at the D.C. where you applied to ask this, like I suggested you do? It's free. They may cover it all, but obviously you haven't. It's been what, a week or more since I suggested you do that?

    If you get tested now and it comes back as positive, you would need to begin treatment right away. How this will benefit you? The DOT medical examiner will see you are being treated already and can contact your doctor if needed, thus limiting his/her liability when you are medically certified . This will allow the DOT medical examiner to give you a one year medical card, and then be eligible to be hired by Walmart.

    Once you are hired by Walmart, any and all additional treatment and equipment needed for sleep apnea will be paid at 100% by Walmart if you choose.

    I came to Walmart already being treated for sleep apnea. All the DOT medical examiner wanted to see was the data from the CPAP machine proving I have used the device at least 70% of the time (5 out of every 7 days) for a minimum of 4 hours per day. You can only receive a maximum one year medical card if treated for sleep apnea.

    I strongly suggest acting on this ASAP or you risk being called for a physical, which will be on the same day you pass the road test, and have your application terminated if the DOT medical examiner flags you for a sleep study to be done, which is likely. I know you have said you do not have the resources. I do not think you are looking hard enough to say this. Even if your credit score was very poor, there are many lenders online who will offer financing. So what if they charge you a high interest rate to cover up to a few thousand dollars. The money that could be earned working here could wipe away any loan balance in one or two pay periods.

    I was pissed when the dot doctor wouldn't give me my card without a sleep study. I have been on a cpap for almost 4 years. I haven't felt this good in years.

    no i haven't called yet. but what im saying is if wm requires me to get real study and cpap before they hire me. then it will be over for me. i can't afford the time off at my current job or the cost of the unit and test.

    You are now cleared for employment with Walmart, so expect a call in the near future to schedule your orientation. Welcome aboard!
