Are you having Trouble Sleeping When you’re Not on the Road? This Could be Why
Since the beginning of October, the United States DOT has pushed for a collection of data on truck drivers that may have obstructive sleep apnea due to their line of work. Data is currently being collected by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the Federal Railway Administration in order to gauge the trends of obstructive sleep apnea in truck drivers and answers from the industry at how a ruling on this data could affect the trucking industry.
The White House Office of Management and Budget received a pre-rule from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration on December 15th. The rule could be published by the end of the year if agreed upon.
The FMCSA also wants to know if there will be an economic impact on the industry and if there will be any safety benefits that will come into effect. If the rule passes, regulatory actions will take place which would involve transportation workers going through evaluations by healthcare professionals to determine treatment.
