Driving is very rewarding to those who love it, but it can also be a very taxing profession. The Driver may sit for hours at a time which increases the risk of fatigue, eye strain, and other conditions that may develop secondary to a sedentary lifestyle. The constant getting in and out of the vehicle, breathing in fuel exhaust, and hearing loud noises also places the driver at risk for health decline. This is why it’s important that all CME drivers undergo a medical fit-for-duty exam to ensure the driver is safe for the road.
