Be prepared for the next FED BS involving CDLs. They are tracking 
doctors and looking at CDL holders who have "abnormal BMI" (in other 
words anyone who is even slightly overweight for their height) They have 
been issuing 6 month med cards and won't sign off until you have a sleep 
apnea test done. Pass it and they may give you a 2 year, then you get 
tested at the next re-up. Fail it and you either buy the machine and 
they track you OR you surrender your CDL.
