A 20-year-old person approaches you and asks you to perform a medical examination for him as he is planning to apply for an interstate CMV driver job advertised by a local transportation company. According to the FMCSA standards, a person under 21 is not eligible to work as an interstate CMV driver; however, you can still perform the examination because:
  1. The person is only applying for the job and not yet employed.
  2. There’s no indication that he intends to work as an interstate CMV driver.
  3. It is not your responsibility to ensure that the person meets the age requirements.
  4. From his physical appearance he seems quite healthy.
Explanation
Answer: C - It is not your responsibility to ensure that the person meets the age requirements.

This is the correct answer because as per FMCSA’s guidelines, it is the responsibility of the motor carrier to ensure that their interstate CMV drivers meet the age requirements. As a certified medical examiner you can perform the driver physical examination for any person who requests it.
