According to the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Association (FMCSA), untreated sleep apnea is a disqualifying condition (49 CFR §391.41 (b)(5) . If you carry a CDL license, it is very important that you are screened for sleep apnea.  There are many advantages to being tested and being compliant with treatment before you see the medical examiner.

In the coming year, regulations and recommendations for screening sleep apnea during appointments with a medical examiner will be refined and more strictly enforced.

If experience any of the signs and symptoms or you are issued a temporary medical certification, contact us.  Our staff will walk you through the home testing process and help you get back on the road as soon as possible.
