The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires all drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) to pass an FMCSA physical to obtain a DOT medical card (the medical exam).
Beyond traditional trucking companies, construction companies, local delivery, moving companies, people transportation of 8 to 15 passengers, and distribution companies that are transporting goods in delivery sized trucks instead of larger semi-trucks qualify to get a medical card.
Because of this large group of people needing medical cards, we are finding that medical card questions are baffling some of those responsible for qualifying commercial drivers.
In this webinar, we will dive into the exam process, what are the automatic disqualifications, what are some red flags, event around marijuana misuse, and what to do after obtaining a medical card.
