The regulations for CMVs are separate from the regulations for NMT, and are something that providers are caught up in because they get paid for the transport, and/or have certain sized vans or buses.  The regulations regarding drivers of CMVs are enforced by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO). 

 

This update was prompted by a question from a member, which led to additional research regarding driver requirements for those operating commercial motor vehicles.  Not all vehicles used for NMT are considered CMVs, and in those instances, only the NMT Rules apply. 

 

If a CMV is used for NMT, the Agency is supposed to be in compliance now, but recognizing that they are probably not in complete compliance - we think that they should do their best to get everything into compliance as soon as they can.  We think the most important one would be to get the medical exam in case one of their drivers gets pulled over.  That is the most likely way that the PUCO would get involved, and the most likely way for the PUCO to start digging around.
