With 28% of commercial truck drivers likely suffering from mild to severe sleep apnea, these drivers are five times more likely to be involved in a crash, and the total cost of collisions related to apnea is estimated at $15.9 billion a year, according to research from the National Safety Council.
Sleep apnea is a breathing-related sleep disorder that causes brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. These pauses in breathing can last at least 10 seconds or more and can occur up to 400 times a night.
Today, referrals of at-risk professional drivers for sleep studies and the issuance of short-term medical certifications has eventually became a norm. In order to diagnose sleep apnea, your doctor may send you to a sleep center to spend a night and monitor your sleep.
Carriers are seeing around 6% to 7% of drivers screened being sent for sleep studies, of which 70% of those are found to need treatment of some kind.

ABOUT CNS Companies:
CNS Companies is a management company comprised of several divisions including Compliance Navigation Specialists (CNS), CNS Online Courses, CNS Insurance, CNS Driver Training Center, and CNS Occupational Medicine, all focused on assisting our clients across all industries. CNS Companies is focused on assisting businesses and their employees in remaining safe, profitable, and compliant while upholding industry rules and regulations.
Compliance Navigation Specialists (CNS) is where it all started and sparked the birth of all of our other subsidiary companies. CNS is an organization focused on assisting trucking and transportation companies in remaining safe, profitable, and compliant with the FMCSA and DOT rules and regulations.
CNS Online Courses was started with the goal of simplifying the complex training requirements placed on industry professionals and our clients. We offer online courses and trainings that our clients and their employees can conveniently complete from anywhere. The courses and trainings that we will offer are endless, but some include courses related to DOT training, HAZMAT training, CDL training, OSHA training requirements and so much more.
CNS Insurance is an agency solely focused on commercial trucking insurance and insuring owner-operators and fleet management companies. Since compliance is one of the largest influences on your commercial trucking insurance, working directly with CNS makes perfect sense for trucking companies and professionals that are in business for the long haul.
CNS Driver Training Center is solely focused on the proper training of new and existing commercial truck drivers in obtaining and maintaining their Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). We run a state-of-the-art training program with opportunities for CDL trainees to learn in a classroom setting or online, as well as practice on a truck driving simulator, all before stepping into a real semi-truck. Our CNS Driver Training Center is also an official Pennsylvania 3rd party testing facility, so our trainees can comfortably test where they train. We train our students with one thing in mind over everything else, safety.
CNS Occupational Medicine is comprised of business and health professionals focused on delivering health and screening services for the construction, transportation, medical, educational, service, and manufacturing work forces throughout the United States. Our Occupational Medicine team has expanded from administering FMCSA-required DOT physicals and Drug and Alcohol tests to assisting employers subject to the complicated OSHA requirements and we plan to expand services even further to accommodate client demand.
