Fit for The Road
18 Minutes

Fit for The Road is designed for doctors who give physical examinations to commercial vehicle operators. It will help viewers understand the special physical and emotional demands of a commercial vehicle driver’s hours, schedule, and work load. The Department of Transportation requires a commercial motor vehicle driver to have a physical exam and to meet certain minimum requirements. Since the driver’s job depends on the results of the physical exam, the commercial vehicle operator, unlike other patients, may be reluctant to tell a doctor if they are having medical problems. Doctors may need to do some investigating to determine the health of the individual they are examining.
