    Im confused which pages to upload. I have 6 pages total and one of them isn't numbered. I don't have an actual card I carry around, just the paperwork. Do you know what info they want to see exactly? maybe i can narrow it down with that info.

    You'll want to get it on a card of some sort. Even if you have to get it shrunk down so tiny that it can't be read by the average human eye, like at kinkos or staples and get it laminated to keep in your wallet. DOT has a trick where they invite you to accompany them to the back of your trailer and then ask you for your medical. If it's not on your person it's a violation. Having it in the truck isn't good enough. So you either have to make sure to remember to bring it when that invitation comes, or keep a tiny duplicate in your wallet.

    Then again, I also heard they were moving away from that reg. Not sure what the time frame on that is though.

    Then you wouldn’t get hired. Tenstreet is the app. Most companies use now with applicants to transfer info.

    Also just about every reputable company in the states discards your medical card and make you get a physical when hired on any way

    That's old information. Med cards are no longer required for CDL holders.

    From fmcsa "a driver required to have a commercial driver's license under part 383 of this chapter, and who submitted a current medical examiner's certificate to the State in accordance with 49 CFR 383.71(h) documenting that he or she meets the physical qualification requirements of this part, no longer needs to carry on his or her person the medical examiner's certificate specified at §391.43(h), "
