These new CDL standards are absolute horseshit. They're hitting us up right now hard and heavy on sleep apnea. It's ridiculous because most of us don't go long haul over the road - we're all local and sleep in our own beds every night/day. But if your BMI is over this, and your neck size is over that - BAM, instant at-risk employee for falling asleep while driving, and you need to have a sleep study done on you that insurance won't cover. It's straight up profiling and extortion, but it's the law.
Congress didn't even read this damned bill when they passed it through.

Dead on, buddy! My longest drive is 90 minutes during spring/summer/fall. No winter drives.
