Are government employees exempt from routine/yearly physical examinations?

Answer:

Transportation performed by the Federal government, a State, or any political subdivision of a State, or an agency established under a compact between states that has been approved by the Congress of the United States are exempt from the FMCSRs, if the political entity chooses.
