    thanks for replying.i live about an hour north of mobile and just got approved for orientation for jan.8th.the reason i asked about sleep apnea is because i'm overweight but i dont have high blood pressure.i just dont want to get down there and the try to charge me to do a sleep study or buy a machine because i cant afford to do either right now.

    Seems to be a very good company. BTW, they have a mandatory per diem program. Driver can not opt out.

    You can put lipstick on a pig yet at the end of the day, you still have a pig.

    yes they test for Apnea and they will enforce a sleep study if their Medical provider encourages it.

    Knowing the industry, and some of the rules companies/government put on drivers...I would venture to guess that Raven is more concerned that the driver be given every opportunity for a good nights rest. Has nothing to do with who or what you choose to sleep with---if something goes wrong, and you hurt yourself or others, Raven has their butt covered as far as rules in place to afford the driver a decent nights rest, and "fatigue" as an excuse in an accident, can only be blamed on yourself.
     
    Ldhenderson Thanks this.
