I ran home on a copy of my DL and copy of my long form to cover med card. No issues and our safety department is as anal as it gets.

A few years ago I got stopped at the scales for being overweight. I was doing a two day turn at the time, and on the previous trip I had forgotten my wallet. As I was getting out of the truck, I thought about that and I didn't feel my wallet at first, it scared me pretty bad. Turned out it was there and as I was sitting at the desk with the trooper that was writing up my ticket, I asked him what would happen if I didn't have my license. He replied that I was in the database and he could look it up there, and that it happened all the time. It was no big deal. A trooper said that. But you can't tell that to company management.
G13Tomcat Thanks this. -
if you've ever sent copy of your cdl via email, as part of application process, check your "sent mail" files.....you'll have a copy....also consider tha probability of being asked by dot, police, etc is low, if they do, it's discretionary as to be anal/technicality about a copy, as said, they can easily verify ....depends on company as why u can't use copy. i may or may not tell company if i got a copy on hand.
my car was broken into, took everything, i drove for months with just photo copy, ca dmv approved/suggested. to beat wait times, i renewed/applied in small ca town, no wait, had it mailed to location of choice.....however, this was around 2009, things change... -
The company paid for my bus ticket back to California

Driving a CMV WITHOUT a cdl in possession is a big no-no. Same category as speeding over 15, tailgating etc.
