Yep and if your BMI is too high you'll have to have a c-pap test and more than likely carry a c-pap machine and it in turn will have to be connected to your on board recorder that any agent of the DOT can access at anytime to monitor your sleeping habits.

What are the 7 BASICS?
1. Unsafe Driving — Dangerous or careless operation of commercial motor vehicles.
2. Fatigued Driving — Driving commercial motor vehicles when fatigued. This includes hours of service violations
3. Driver Fitness — Operation of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) by drivers who are unfit to operate a CMV due to lack of training, experience, or medical qualification.
4. Controlled Substances and Alcohol — Operation of a CMV while impaired due to alcohol, illegal drugs, and misuse of prescription medications or over-the-counter medications.
5. Vehicle Maintenance — CMV failure due to improper or inadequate maintenance.
6. Improper Loading/Cargo Securement — shifting loads, spilled or dropped cargo, and unsafe handling of hazardous materials.
7. Crash/Incident Experience — Histories or patterns of high crash involvement, including frequency and severity.
As a driver, you cannot afford to have an unfavorable safety score under any of the BASICS. It could mean that carriers will no longer allow you to drive for them until your scores under the 7 BASICS are improved.
It is very difficult to improve your record. For the most part you would only be able to WAIT until enough time goes by that a ticket no longer falls within the 36 month evaluation period. Where do they get the data?
Data used to calculate your safety record comes from Roadside inspections, traffic violations (citations) and crash data. A new Driver safety rating will be determined EACH MONTH!
