Today Show and CPAP rant

Ok, so I just finished the big long post about getting started when you use a CPAP. Since it was so long, I thought I'd save my rant for another post... and since I'm ranting... I'll share my rant about the Today show story the other day

CPAP
Ok so everyone wants drivers to drive safe. There are a ton of regulations out there to keep drivers from driving while tired... so why the big problem with CPAP machines? I think companies that refuse to hire drivers who use them, are creating a bigger problem. They are discouraging drivers from getting the help they need. Instead of getting treatment and getting a good night's rest. They are ignoring the signs and symptoms. How many drivers have you heard snoring in truck stops? Snoring is one of the biggest indications of sleep apnea.

Today Show
You can tell I'm a full on trucker's wife now!! I was so anygry and annoyed by the today show story the other day. The basic story is that someone is considering passing a law that trucks can't drive over 68 mph. Not a big deal for us, hubby's company has them regulated anyway...but that's not the part that annoyed me.

It was the part where they were talking about how many accidents involve a semi. They made it sound like all of the accidents were caused by semi's driving too fast. How many of those accidents were from four wheelers cutting off semi's? How many were from road conditions? I'm sure there are instances where speed was an issue, but not all of them. If you want to prevent accidents, you need to get the four wheelers to stop cutting off trucks, or whip around them......

Ok rants for today are done....
