Operating a commercial vehicle while licence-suspended is a serious Criminal Code or Highway Traffic Act violation that directly affects the carrier's CVOR safety rating.
What must a CVOR operator do when they discover a driver is no longer medically fit to drive?
Answer: Remove the driver from commercial vehicle operation immediately
Carriers have a duty to remove medically unfit drivers from operation immediately to prevent safety risks and protect their CVOR record.
