Getting my physical tomorrow

Far as I know none of the mega carriers will accept your med card.Their insurance requires physicals performed by the carriers physician.

 

my school will not accept any if its older than 30 days old

 

Note - I cannot find the link right now, but x amount of days after self certification the short/long form are invalid and the driver can be fined for non-compliance if these forms are in their possession.

About this Form
If the medical examiner finds that the person he/she examined is physically qualified to drive a commercial motor vehicle (CMV), the medical examiner will complete a Medical Examiner's Certificate and give the original to the person who was examined. The medical examiner will keep a copy of the Medical Examiner's Certificate on file for at least 3 years. If a driver wishes the Certificate to be in card form, he/she may:

• Purchase a separate "medical card" from an industry supplier of motor carrier forms (e.g., State trucking association) before the physical exam and ask the medical examiner to complete and sign it, in addition to the Medical Examination Report form; or
• Print the Certificate on cardstock paper. It is permissible to reduce the size of the Certificate.

 

Are you going to attend a trucking company cdl school?

 

Who'd you decide to go with, btw?

 

Make sure you self certify after... You did not mention a state, so I cannot post a link.
