Big changes in store for DOT medical examination process - 3/21/2025

I still want a physical long form, and would still send it to my state, so when the Feds muff it up, I can show that I am medically certified. In FL, there are still delays. Previously I used to self certify from home, the one time I got my physical within a week of old one expiring. 3 weeks later I got an email from the state saying my license was no longer suspended and my medical certification had been processed. Had I been stopped during those few weeks in between, it would have showed my license being suspended for no medical certification. From then on I went from the doctor to the DMV and had them scan it in directly. And this is just FL, with that long of a delay in processing with the limited number of FL CDL drivers, I can imagine how long the delay will be when the Feds have to process millions every year. I can see a total fuster cluck with this system for the first 3 or 4 years.
