I'm a trucker and my friend who is also a trucker said that he lost his job because this research study MyApnea sold his information to the FMCSA as part of some deal. Has anyone else heard this?

How does he know for sure?

Not knowing what type of information he divulged to them, it's hard to say, but it doesn't sound like a "smart move" to me.
Too many people put too much information out on the Internet and social websites and then deeply regret it later.

well, if your friend has sleep apnea and was trying to get out of having it effectively treated, we're all safer if he's off the road.
