Are there new regulations regarding a driver's body mass index (BMI), body fat ratio, weight, neck size, and sleep apnea? AnswerMy own personal opinion I think the regulations will be set at some time in the future & if I were some overweight drivers I think I would start thinking about losing weight now before the regs go into effect..
- 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 nor the CSA program currently has any rules that restrict who can be a commercial motor vehicle driver based on BMI or weight, or neck size.
