When did bus driver have physical?

When discussing the accident involving the school bus near Big Rock, I found it to be a Class C license when carrying passengers.

I have friends that have CDL licenses and are required, by the state, to have a physical each year. Any issue with nodding off and/or tiring requires them to go for a sleep study. This is only if the physician notes it and informs the company after the patient has been honest during the exam.

These friends drive tractor-trailers and work for a major freight company. We see them on the road at all hours. This company doesn’t take any chances when it comes to safety on the road and makes sure that drivers are not a danger to other motorists and themselves.

So when did this bus driver, who’s responsibly is to provide safe travel for our children and those of us in less mighty vehicles have the last exam?
