Walmart Sleep apnea requirement?

that sucks man sorry to hear that.................

 

I was just hired 2 months ago.

Who has made the claim you must have a minimum one year certification? Have you talked directly to driver recruiting in Bentonville?

Do you think you sleep apnea? Ever discuss this with your family doctor? Having sleep apnea will not keep you from ever getting hired here, I have sleep apnea, along with a list of health issues that scare the crap out of life insurance companies!

 

I would think if you did take the sleep test and have the results from the doc and reapplied you would make it through the next time pretty easily.

 

don't give up!! from what I understand from talking to these guys. several people don't make it on their 1st try for one reason or another but heard of some making it on the 2nd. so hang in there maybe they will work with you on it.

 

First off, now matter what, these events do not prevent you from ever being hired in the future.

As for the sleep apnea, this is an area that too many medical examiners will assume one has sleep apnea based on a profile and not clinical evidence. Sadly, there is too much leeway for a medical examiner to fail someone based on speculation. Soon there will be real parameters for sleep apnea that go beyond what a person's neck size or BMI may be. In the meantime, get this checked. A home sleep study can be done for a small amount of money. Once you know one way or another, it will not prevent you from getting hired here or at other companies.

 

It seems like the neck size is causing a dissabylity for this driver and that is an unfortunate thing. In some societies long necks are more desireble than short ones. This ludicrist that someone could desqualify for neck size. It could be a ability not a dissability. Cheers
