Why You Were Flagged

Common DOT Sleep Apnea Risk Factors

Certified medical examiners look for these signs. One or more can trigger a referral for a sleep study.

BMI

A body mass index of 35 or higher is a leading risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea.

Neck Size

A neck circumference over 17" (men) or 16" (women) narrows the airway.

Blood Pressure

Hypertension — especially if hard to control — is strongly linked to untreated apnea.

Fatigue

Loud snoring, witnessed pauses in breathing, and daytime sleepiness behind the wheel.

Questions

DOT Sleep Testing FAQ

Most drivers complete the telehealth visit, home test, and physician interpretation within days — not the weeks typical of a hospital sleep lab. That means less time on a 3-month card and a parked truck.
No. Testing is done at home with an FDA-cleared device — in your own bed or your sleeper berth. There's no overnight lab stay and no travel.
We coordinate PAP therapy setup, provide monthly compliance monitoring, and generate the adherence reports your certified medical examiner needs for recertification. You're supported the whole way.
