CDL renewal - driving with an interim paper license?

The state of Virginia does the same thing now - you go in to make changes to your license, etc. and they punch out "VOID" on your old license, issue a paper license with your new information on it and then mail you your new hard license (takes @ 1-2 weeks). You're told at DMV to carry both the paper license & the "VOIDED" license in case you are stopped.

I'm wondering if what your safety director is telling you is based on your company's policy? Have you checked your employee handbook or asked your safety guy if what he's telling you is company policy? Insurance companies are very stringent when it comes to the carrier industry and this might be a restriction set-forth by them.

 

In other words a temporary license till your your hard copy arrives. I drove with the paper temp, but not with that state - med card needs to be up to date then be sure to have your hard copy in possession before the paper temp expires, meaning get by the house or mailing address and pick it up when it arrives.. Can't drive? news to me... I guess, check your state law rules/regs.

 

i just transfered my CDL from TX to NM...they punched hole in TX..and gave me paper one with a pic...BUT said it was only valid when presented with my TX license....i would call the DMV...and see what they say...

 

when I moved to another state, the dmv there took my license, its called "surrendering".. then issued the paper. previous state punched a whole in the old one but the renewal was in the same state. They said 4 to 6 weeks till hard copy arrives, got there in 3. the new state arrived in 2 weeks... temps were valid for 6 weeks

 

I drove with my temporary 20 day paper permit while the card was being processed and mailed when I first got my CDL. I also carry my passport and TWIC for photo ID purposes.

 

I never had a problem driving with a paper temporary from CO. Do make sure you get your hardcopy or another temp before the one you have expires.

 

Sarcasm????

Sounds like a company thing to me.

 

Best thing i can say is carry the old one with you along with the temporary paper one, you should be fine. I did the same thing when i had my license changed to a comination class a and motorcycle.

 

Same here as all above. MA to MN.
