I have seen a natural remedy out there that I have suggested to my trucker friends who were on CPAP. In most cases these truckers who use this right are COMPLETELY off the CPAP all together. It is an all natural remedy. I would suggest any trucker out there to take a look at it...it may be WELL worth your time and get yourself off the cpap all together.

I don't know which side I back on the matter. I certainly think safety for truck drivers and all others on the road is a very important issue, but I'm somewhat against forcing people to undergo medical treatments. I'll be interested in the 2012 verdict. I actually work for an Internet Marketing company and one of our clients happens to be Sleep Apnea equipment. Their domain is not just a clever marketing tool and they do in fact issue and stand by their best price guarantee. If an individual can find a lower advertised price for a product they stock, they will give the individual 110% of the difference. For those suffering from sleep apnea, it may be a good resource.
