<P> Implemented in 2014, the National Registry rule requires all Medical Examiners (ME) who conduct physical examinations and issue medical certifications for interstate CMV drivers to complete training on FMCSA's physical qualification standards, pass a certification test, and demonstrate competence through periodic training and testing . CMV drivers whose medical certifications expire must use MEs on the National Registry for their examinations . </P> <P> FMCSA has reached its goal of at least 40,000 certified MEs signing onto the registry, meaning drivers can now find certified medical examiners throughout the country who can competently perform their medical exam . FMCSA is preparing to issue a follow - on "National Registry 2" rulemaking that will require MEs to submit medical certificate information on a daily basis . These daily updates, which FMCSA will transmit to states electronically, will dramatically decrease the chance of drivers falsifying medical cards . </P> <P> All non-exempt commercial motor vehicles that cross state lines, including big - rig trucks, are subject to the federal motor carrier safety regulations . If these semi-trucks are operating within one state, they need to abide by state - equivalent motor carrier safety regulations . The intent of the regulations is to cover all persons and entities involved in operating commercial vehicles, including: </P> <Ul> <Li> Drivers </Li> <Li> Hiring managers </Li> <Li> Trainers </Li> <Li> Supervisors </Li> <Li> Managers </Li> <Li> Dispatchers </Li> <Li> Other people whose action affects drivers and commercial motor vehicles </Li> </Ul>
