    A contractor who did work for me temp-moved back to his country (Mexico) and intends to get his CDL in Mexico. He asked me if that CDL would be valid here in the US. Everything I've read seems to indicate 'yes'. How about his DOT med card?

    No it is not if he is going to work for you, it is if he is going to be working for a Mexican company.

    If he has a Green card he just needs to get US CDL and not make things complicated

    He is physically in Mexico now. I suppose he could travel back but I'll leave that choice strictly up to him. He is simply a guy I know who was honest and hardworking for me in the past and he asked me the question. Thanks
