National Data base for Medical Certification

Received a letter from the NCDOT and NCDMV

https://apps.dot.state.nc.us/pio/releases/details.aspx?r=5691
(This posting on their website refers to the New Federal Mandate)

Concerning to my obligation as a CDL holder to now verify to them my medical status,going to the website and making a few phone calls I am in the process to make sure this done ASAP.Few things you might want to make notice,this is not a "state Deal it is a federal mandate(btw if anyone else has gone thru this plz PM me thnx)

According to the person i talked to in Raliegh the crux of it is,the FEDS are to make a National Data Base much like how FMCSA is made a data base on Company's(they said it was so different states could easily access a drivers medical certificate,in a much more thorough way....

 

Oh no not complaining,this was ment to be a informative post,a new Federal mandate,,

Quoted:"Most CDL drivers are expected to submit the federally-required information during the usual license renewal process. However, drivers whose licenses were issued before January 30, 2012 and expire after January 29, 2014 will receive a notification letter requesting the necessary information.

After I called in was explained that this is a new FEDERAL mandate to create a National Data Base,,My company(Conway) was well aware of this new mandate(as well as my personal Doctor who I saw this morning for a regular checkup),,I had not herd of this until i read the letter

 

Just got back from DOT/DMV this is a FEDERAL thing,,,(ALL STATES are required)reporting dates will be Jan 30th 2012-jan 30th 2014

NC will be sending out another more informative letter this week to clear up the ?'s that are being raised
