Types of Examinations
A physical examination mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers requiring a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). FMCSA examinations determine if a driver is fit to operate a CMV based on an individual’s physical, mental, and emotional state.
These examinations are performed at 2-year intervals or less depending on if medical conditions warrant increased frequency.
Items needed for examination:
- Your current driver’s license and CDL card, if applicable.
A bus driver medical examination is required by New York State for all bus drivers. It is similar to a FMCSA CDL examination, but 19-A examinations are specific to school bus drivers who do not cross state lines.
The 19-A examine is similar to a DOT, but a 19-A involves a driver who remains within the state's borders. The 19-A examination is done every 2 years or more frequently if medical condition warrants.
