    Sprinter?? Transit?? Diesel?? Gas??

    Is this a good idea?

    Whether people like this or not it is part of NAFTA, which people seem to forget that we as a country agreed to in 1993. Just so people know NAFTA was brought to you by Republicans and signed into law by a democrat, Bill Clinton. Without republicans voting yea we wouldn't have NAFTA. That...

    What are my options?

    All this and Congress has told the FMCSA they cannot test for sleep apnia because it isn't in the rules they have for medical. Congress has also told the FMCSA to tell the doctors this, therefore doctors aren't suposed to test for it in the first place.
