Major changes coming to the dot medical card

What could possibly go wrong

 

The last I got was in Alabama. They submitted it to the state. Too bad my license is from Illinois.

 

The OP is in regards to Texas making changes.

In Florida the ME has always submitted a copy to the state and we’re required to upload a copy also. Takes 2 minutes and then get a confirmation back from the state within a day or so of it being accepted.

 

Maybe that’s new to Texas but not in California, we had this start years ago. Do doctors still #### it up? Yup. Do companies still have us go into the DMV and submit it and get a receipt? Yup!

 

I emailed mine into TX DPS too last year and got a confirmation response. A few months later I got a letter in the mail saying my CDL had been downgraded due to my med card expiring. I spent half a day at their office getting it cleared up.

 

I literally watch my my guy logging in and entering it. However, I still go straight to the DMV office to make sure everything is good. Afterall, I’m the only one whom I can count on to take care of me.

 

it's free in GA. I usually just submitted it online.

 

I do mine in a similar manner,,take form from doctor to the DOT where they enter the info while im standing there at counter….this method is a option but been so many screwups where DOT loses medical forms or whatever that this is common practice…
