Attention Commercial Motor
Vehicle (CMV) Drivers and Carriers:
Did you know an
important law affecting you goes into effect May 21, 2014?
To keep America’s interstate
CMV drivers healthy and our roads safer, all interstate CMV drivers will soon
be required to have their medical examinations performed by a Certified
Medical Examiner listed on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners.
If you’re an interstate CMV
driver, you already need a valid medical certificate signed by a medical
examiner. The only change is that after May 21, 2014, you’ll need to go to
a certified medical examiner for your medical certificate. If you’ve
already had an exam and have a current certificate that certificate
will be valid until its regular expiration date.
You can find certified
medical examiners in your area—or anywhere in the country—easily by following
1.
Visit the National Registry Web site and
search by Zip Code, State, or examiner name.
2.
Choose a certified medical examiner from the list and call to make an appointment.
3.
If your preferred health care professional isn’t on the list, simply refer
him or her to the Certified Medical Examiners page to learn
more about getting certified.
Please spread the word and
encourage your fellow CMV drivers to find a Certified Medical Examiner by May
21st. They can find more information in the Fact Sheet for Drivers or by going to the National Registry Web site, so pass it
along!
Thank you for keeping America
moving and for your commitment to safer roadways.
