Re: Dot compliance

And why would I only tell one side of the story? That wouldn't be very helpful to me. I don't have anything to hide. Kinda harsh. I've defended myself more than got help

Re: Dot compliance

There is not more to the story. Honestly that is it. And no I don't have health insurance. Sad huh. Anyway I too cant figure out why I need a medical card to drive a pick up truck. Makes no sense to me. I don't have a cdl. Just a standard drivers licence. I'm working this job only until I can find s...

Re: Dot compliance

Yea I've been wearing my mask as much as possible and have hit 4 hours every night for over a week now. It's really hard for me to wear it over the 4 hr mark but I'm sure it will get easier and I understand the compliance now. My boss just wants me to get compliant as soon as possible. I have a coup...

Re: Dot compliance

So is that true......wearing the mask for 8 hours opposed to 4 hours will get you compliant quicker?

Re: Dot compliance

I'm kind of confused also by the need of a dot physical and a medical card because I don't need a cdl nor do I have one. I will be driving a pickup truck with a spray hose and tank on it used to spray fertilizer and weed preventative. Don't need a cdl or hazmat license either. Anyway, I've been wear...

Re: Dot compliance

Now that I was able to pay the machine off and actually start using the sleep clinics services I will be using it every night weather I drive for a living or not. I have a history of heart disease in my family and I want to live a long healthy life so no issues there. The paperwork I was given just ...

Re: Dot compliance

Ok first off I want to thank everyone who actually tried to help. It means alot to me that you took time out of your day to give me a suggestion and try to answer my complicated question. Second, I'm not trying to cheat the system. I was simply asking how many more days I would need to wear my mask ...

Dot compliance

Help!!! I'm at risk of losing a new job. I need to be dot compliant to get my dot medical card. I'm at 32% compliant and my boss said I have a few weeks to get 100% or I lose my job. Anyone know how long it will take if I wear my mask every night? If I wear it 8 hours versus 4 hours will I become co...

Re: New guy here with doubts and a question

I don't have internet access right now other than my phone so I can't download sleepy head but I should be getting it next week. Until then I'll get my results from the doc and post them up

Re: New guy here with doubts and a question

Long story short.....im a truck driver but I drive a delivery truck for a large home improvement center. I don't drive over the road long haul. I start my route at 7am and usually I'm done by 4pm. I have to be dot compliant regardless. I never drive tired. I have the option of letting someone else d...

Re: New guy here with doubts and a question

Thanks everyone. Julie, I don't know my test score. Should i call the clinic and get it? I'm not limiting myself to 5 hours purposely it just seems that around the 5 hour mark I rip my mask off in my sleep.

New guy here with doubts and a question

I've been on a cpap machine and diagnosed with sleep apnea now for about 6 or so months. I've only recently started using my machine seriously do to dot compliance issues. To make a long story short could I have been misdiagnosed with sleep apnea? My events per hour on my sleep report (resmed airsen...
