More than one medical certificate? is this legal?

The latest med card supercedes the first one.

I imagine nearly every driver has had two med cards at once unless they only go for a new physical *after* their current card expires....and their CDL is no longer valid.

If you are currently in possession of a valid med card what are you going back to either doctor for? Just be aware that most companies will want you to do a physical when you get hired, valid med card or not.

 

Most important the second one is complete and should be the one you send to your state to keep your CDL current.

or the 3rd one if you are given another by a carrier; then send that one to your state. You need to keep your state current.

One guy came here with 2 cards but only the older one was registered with the state. He continued thinking the 2nd one was good and ignored the CDL downgrade letters until his was downgraded long enough that his only option was to start the CDL process over...

 

Give THIS FMCSA webpage some time! You may find a lot of good information there! That link to the state-by-state process is over 2 years old. Maybe somebody knows of a more current link?

 

permit, yes that's he one. Once you have completed the CDL process, you need to send the updated Medical certificates to keep your CDL active.

 

Right, the newest med card takes precedence.
