Hello everyone. Just wanted to ask everyone what they know about your bmi (body mass index). I heard when you go in for your physical they check that and if your bmi is over 35 then you have to take a sleep test and maybe take a month off. If you fail then you may not get your cdl renewed. Can anybody clear this up for me? You hear so much anymore and dont know what is right or wrong. Have a good day and keep on trucking! Thanks.
