In order to legally drive a big rig in interstate commerce, truckers are required to have a physical examination from a qualified medical examiner. If they pass, they get a Medical Examiners Certificate that’s good for up to two years. However, nearly half of the nation’s truck drivers are certified for less than one year, resulting in problems for them as well as truck fleets.
Listen to this latest episode of the “Eyes on the Road” trucking podcast as we discuss the problem with Bob Perry, known to many as the “Trucker Trainer” with Fit Drivers. He explains the causes of truck drivers not receiving their medical certificates for a full two years and why some can’t get them at all, as well as solutions to this problem, and as the benefits of solving this for both truckers and motor carriers.
