Commercial Drivers are an essential part of South Dakota’s economy. However, when you are following a semi-truck on the interstate, or putting your kids on a school bus, you want to be rest assured that the operator won’t suffer a sudden, preventable medical emergency. Chad Storch, D.O., MPH, a board-certified Occupational and Aerospace Physician at Rapid City Clinic, Mount Rushmore Road, provides federally required Department of Transportation Medical Exams so that drivers can acquire or maintain their commercial driver's license status. In this discussion with Mark Houston, Dr. Storch details the work he does with the South Dakota DOT to keep our highways bustling, yet always safe.
Whether you are a professional, long-haul trucker or an everyday motorist, there is plenty of useful information to take away from this discussion.
