New rule when renewing CDL

i sent mine in over 3 weeks ago, last week went to renew. cdl division had not received it, lucky they worked with me and fax a new one in and got the renewal. they finaly said they had not recieved mail for weeks. i told her that there would be some drivers put in a spot.

 

I just read about it here >> http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/registration-licensing/cdl/cdl-general-info.aspx

It mentione "variations"? but does not indicate what that might be?? Oh well I'm due this year so I guess I'll find out

 

We got "notified" by NCDOT late last year,all we have to do is make a copy of both and send in to be put in the data base

 

Renewed my license last week and did it right at the counter after I showed them my med card.

 

And what state is "Sometimes here, sometimes there.."? (Edit, in a second look of your post I see it's KY)

In my state (Missouri) I happened to call on the deadline date to the Licence Bureau in Jefferson City. The "customer service" operator read something to me, to the effect that there is no data base in place, and that Missouri is out of federal compliance, but due to budget shortfalls, they don't have the funds to put this program into place.

So I called my state representative. I spoke to his aide and was told that the legislation to assure these funds to even hire the staff to build the data base to collect the medical certificate information was still pending. My suggestion to her was to please let us render our medical information electronically, as by fax, email or even snail mail. I pressed the fact that many of us are away from home for weeks or months at a time and that if we had that option, it would be a huge help. From what I heard from other states, CDL holders were being suspended for being out of compliance.

She called me back a in less than week later. My representative was receptive of my concerns, and would take it back to the committee he chairs which has juice in all the necessary legislation.

In conclusion, in Missouri, nothing happening here, yet. They will let us know in the media and by mail.
