A recent final rule that rolled out a new medical history form and requires medical examiners to transmit the results of DOT physicals within 24 hours of the exam has drawn fire from the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association.
OOIDA filed a petition for reconsideration with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration on Friday, May 22. The petition requests that the agency reconsider the final rule and calls for the agency to withdraw the final rule and proceed with a notice and comment period.
On April 23, FMCSA published a final rule that adopted new standards for issuing medical certificates and amended the reporting requirements of the results of DOT physicals.
