Medical DOT card.

But once you get a 1-year card issued for whatever reason, there's no going back to a 2-year card? Am I correct on this? I got a 1-year card for "borderline" BP. it checks fine on my home gadgets, then at the doctor it's a little high.

Do prospective employers frown on having a 1-year card over a 2-year?

 

No it's determined at each physical as needed. Idk how cos look at physical card lengths .

 

That's a relief. Sounded like a driver was permanently stuck with a shorter term card once they were ever issued less than 2-year card.

It's easier and less expensive to get a gun license. Talk about regulation. Geez.

 

Another reason you can get a one-year card is if you respond "yes" when asked if you're taking any medications.

 

Be careful with that advice. I'm not sure it is 100% accurate. There was language on the old exam forms that seemed to suggest otherwise with 1 year cards because of blood pressure problems. With this new medical card database it might not be that easy now.

 

And I am for BP. Never thought it'd be such a big deal.

 

Yes...Never respond" Negatively" to any questions on the medical questionaire! If you start checking headaches,trouble staying awake etc...Guess what? One year card for sure...Maybe even expensive Sleep apnea test etc.

 

You sure you was hanging.
