Medical test card

Ok I found it! Maybe there is some exceptions to it

I only copied the main part. Click on the link and it will take you to the full requirments of a COMPANY to hire you. This is what they must do to approve you as a driver.

Subpart B ' Qualification and Disqualification of Drivers

§391.11 General qualifications of drivers.


(b)(8) Has successfully completed a driver's road test and has been issued a certificate of driver's road test in accordance with §391.31, or has presented an operator's license or a certificate of road test which the motor carrier that employs him/her has accepted as equivalent to a road test in accordance with §391.33.

Ok I re-read it the company can accept your operator's license as equivalent to the road test. So I am sure just the major companies probably want to do a road test to assure they can drive. So guess you don't need it, sorry just used to saying/hearing that phrase to have the road test card on them. I will ask next week though

 

No the company that hires you should give you a road test to hire you.
Maybe the company is not aware of this or maybe you did it and don't remember?

Or maybe I am wrong, however I just read it but maybe there is exceptions

 

I am wrong (wow first time for everything). The company has the choice to accept the Operators licences as the equivelant of a road test. But our company requires it and tells the drivers to keep a copy of the road test with them at all times, so that's why I "thought" it was a requirement.

MY BAD

 

Sorry, I explained why I thought it was a requirement. Which it really is wise to have them do a driver test, but then again it does make them nervous with a stranger in the truck so anyhow. I don' t know I just work there.

Again sorry.

I will just stick with the log regulations .

 

Hey get over here and give me a bananner
