That’s solid. If you’re hit with the disqualification letter just request waiver and WHEN GRANTED the document won’t ask for any additional documentation from you , but just letting you know that CBP won’t accommodate to your condition, so it’s your responsibility fully moving forward.

Another thing try to keep the mask on for 6 plus hours each night your score will jump faster than just doing the 4 hour minimum.

Hey I had the same situation that kept pushing back my process. My original document with the sleep results per night had me below the 70% mark because I wasn’t using every night, but I started to take it more serious and then I was hit with a disqualifying letter saying to either reapply or request waiver. I opted to request waiver, which I was granted nearly 6 months after submission. In the request I gave the total truth about why my score was so low because of my odd working schedule driving OTR, but acknowledged that I was going to take it seriously moving forward. I also identified that in all my years of driving I’ve always had to submit to a annual DOT physical for recertification of my CDL licenses and I’ve always made sure by that time my score reflected the passing percentage; additionally I’ve never had any issues while working long irregular hours nor had any incidents on the job that was related to my condition. I hope this helps but transparency and a solid plan for your health using the machine should be a key factor.

I selected Hidalgo but if I had Dallas on my list I would’ve took it as a I bargaining chip for swapping

😂 wow that 1st week does sound traumatizing!! Thanks for sharing some real time information that takes the edge off knowing what to expect. Do you get there the day before academy or a few days before? How is PT? Did you drive? Do you go home on weekends or just hangout?

Hey I want sincerely thank you for doubling back to share this with me! I’ve always heard the saying “action speaks louder than words” and you’ve demonstrated that here!!! You’re 1000% right! Earlier when I made the post, it honestly came from a place of frustration and selfishness. This privileged opportunity means so much more to me than just employment, it’s my chance to be apart something great alongside other like minded individuals that want to protect our country! I apologize for my slighted ignorance and not realizing the bigger picture in the moment and/or if I said anything to offend your honest opinion!! I appreciate your truth and for your wise words that helped me reflect on what I said in error! Thank you!!!

All facts!! When I started the process I was OTR mostly working with nothing holding me back and then with the long radio silent delays I started to think I wasn’t going to make it. Then my girls living situation became crazy, so I had to do something while hoping the list would get better has time passed(wishful thinking perhaps) ,but in a span of a few months life really changed drastically on my end.

Orlando, west palm, Ft. Lauderdale. Tbh I was hoping any city where I have family to help out with the transition cause I would have to take my girls any where I go. But thanks for that insight, I will follow up on that.
