Medical test card

Uh....whats a road test card? I think with my first employer I might have had one but in the three since there was no such thing. This is a FMCSR rule?

Dont forget to check all your permits and cab sticker

 

Yea I was wondering that myself. I aint got one of those.

 

A road test card is not required. Many truck companies don't perform a road test.

The medical card is required. However, some states provide the long form and a wallet sized medical card. Some DOT officers prefer to see the long form. I carry both.

 

Well this is a new one on me Logsrus. I have never heard of "a road test card" nor do I recall ever reading anything in the dot regs about this. I know you are required to have the medical card and a copy of your long form physical now a days as well as a valid class a cdl but to my knowledge that is it.
Please give me your reference material data so I may cross check it and if your right then I will alert my employer to this so we will be in compliance.

 

Are you even required to have a copy of your long form, I always thought it was just your license and your med card

 

I was informed by our safety guy it was in fact now required. My company is based out of NJ and we have 3 divisions with over 5000 trucks total (Nemf, Eastern Freightways, Carrier Ind.) and we all have to have the long from physical with us on the job.

 

i do remember and still have a few roadtest cards from my early days of driveing they was sometimes on the back of your medical cert. and about the long from at the scales on southbound I-65 at lowell in three weeks ago they did not ask for the long form,but i have been ask for it at other stops

 

I was leased to Landstar and they have more than 2500 trucks. We never had a road test performed. I am currently leased to an Indiana company and the DOT in Indiana does have some additional requirements. The company there only has 1000 trucks.
