Medical Fitness Policy

FMCSA: It is the policy of Falcon Xpress Transportation Group Inc., referred to hereafter as the "Company," to operate in compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety regulations, specifically Part 391.43.

PROCEDURE:

Any employee candidate seeking a position with the company that involves driving a commercial vehicle on public roadways in the United States must adhere to the physical requirements outlined in FMCSA Regulations.

On March 30, 1999, Transport Canada and the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) entered into a reciprocal agreement regarding the physical requirements for Canadian drivers of commercial vehicles in the U.S., as outlined in Federal Motor Carrier Safety regulations, Part 391.43, and vice versa. This agreement eliminates the need for Canadian drivers to carry a copy of a medical examiner's certificate, provided they possess a valid driver's license issued by the province of Ontario, which is deemed proof of physical qualification. However, FHWA will not recognize an Ontario license if the driver has certain medical conditions that would prohibit driving in the U.S.

POLICY:

• All drivers must sign Medical Declaration Forms upon hiring.
• Drivers must submit medical forms signed by a physician during regular medical checkups as per the Ministry of Transportation Commercial Vehicle Driving requirements.
• Drivers must promptly notify the company of any changes in health conditions stated in the medical declaration form.
• The company will securely maintain records of Medical Declaration Forms and subsequent signed medical reports.

Effective Date:

The Driver Medical Fitness Policy shall be effective.  

MEDICAL DECLARATION:

On March 30, 1999, the United States Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulation medical requirements for Canadian drivers of Commercial Motor Vehicles operating in the United States were revised. I acknowledge that there is no requirement for a completed United States medical fitness report. This revision requires that a Canadian driver must comply with the medical requirements of the province in which their Commercial Driver’s License is issued, and that a medical fitness report is completed as required by the license issuing province.

I, , certify that under the new revisions of the medical requirements to operate a commercial motor vehicle in the United States, I am not impaired to operate a Commercial Motor Vehicle by any of the following:

• A) I have no established medical history or clinical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus currently requiring insulin for control (administered by injection).
• B) I have no established medical history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy.

• D) I do not have high blood pressure exceeding 160/90.
• E) I also agree to inform the company should my medical status change, and if any of the above impairments are subsequently diagnosed to affect my fitness to operate a Commercial Motor Vehicle in the United States.

I hereby authorize you to release the following information to Falcon Xpress Transportation Group Inc. for the purpose of investigation as required by Section 391.23 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. You are released from all liability, which may result from furnishing such informational.
