Hello my fellow trucking brothers. My cousin works for a sleep company and she told me to get a study BEFORE my dot exam.

If you get your sleep study AFTER your dot exam you will be referred and they let your safety manager know you are getting a test. The DOT doctor won't pass you until you get your study results. (I think you have 30 days to get it done or you can't pass your DOT) Then you have to go back after the test and sometimes repay for the dot exam again. They tried this at a care now office with one of my friends in Oklahoma. If you need a CPAP, they won't pass you until you show compliance on the machine. Sometimes they take you off the road till you are wearing the machine every night.

If you get the sleep study BEFORE your dot exam, you will be able to get your certificate because you already did the test. Also, they won't notify your safety manager because you already started treatment and are able to drive. They only tell the safety manager if you don't pass immediately.

I thought my sleep apnea would keep me from getting hired, but get your sleep study first and get compliant and you won't be flagged. The first mask they gave me drove me nuts, but my cousin's company gave me a new one and it is comfy. i slept 8-11 hours a night before and now i feel better only sleeping 7 with my cpap. Her company can do an approved home sleep test for under $300 and it is DISCREET so you won't be flagged. Her company is near Dallas in Texas. Feel free to ask any questions as i know i was scared and didn't have any buddies who knew. My email is bigtruckin65@gmail.com if you want the sleep test contact for under $300.

Is that an expense thay they cover up front and you pay it back when you go solo or is that out of pocket? Do you know of you can do the test somewhere else prior to going to Prime? I'm looking at going to Prime training in August. I'm hoping to lose a bunch of weight prior to leaving but need a backup plan just in case. It seems like they are hustling people. That's my fear. Showing up and not being able to afford the study and then get sent home where I already quit my job.

Just a Friendly tip: If you come to Prime and enroll in the student training program, you may be required to participate in a sleep apnea study. This wouldn't be so bad except they charge you about $600 to do so and if you don't, you can't move forward in the program and can't obtain your cdl. I'm enrolled in their Prime Student Driver program now and this came up today and cought many people by surprise. It seemed like it was targeted at the very overweight crowd. Other than that, it has been a great experience so far, and if all goes well, I'll be "cleared" and leave with my instructor on Saturday.
