Are there new regulations regarding a drivers body mass index (BMI), body fat ratio, weight, neck size and sleep apnea?
Despite rumors to the contrary, no. While research was recently released stating that a driver’s body mass index (BMI) is a risk factor for identifying sleep apnea, neither the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) nor the Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) program currently has any rules that restrict who can be a commercial motor vehicle driver based on BMI or weight, or neck size.
