A recent development from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has sent shockwaves through the trucking community. The agency has taken action against two medical examiners, resulting in the potential invalidation of over 15,000 commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs). This move stems from concerns about the legitimacy of medical certifications provided by these doctors, which are crucial for maintaining CDL validity.
Affected drivers are now at risk of having their licenses downgraded, which could sideline them from the road and disrupt their livelihoods. The FMCSA is urging these drivers to obtain new medical certifications promptly to avoid any interruptions in their ability to operate commercially.
This situation underscores the importance of ensuring that medical examinations for CDL holders are conducted by certified and reputable professionals. For a more in-depth look at this developing story, you can read the full article here: Freight Waves
