    Can your employer require you to supply copies of your CDL Physical "long form"? I know you have to give them the copy of your Medical Certificate card per DOT regs, but the complete long form? Does this violate Hippa? I don't recall anywhere over the years any memos from the employer requiring this or are the lower level managers mis-informed?

    Yes they sure can. Those are kept in your employee file. My employer required my medical long form upon hire and when I go to get a new physical done I send them the long form. Some companies require it and others just the card.

    It started last year. I am already self-certified and am no longer required to carry the medical card. State already has it in the system. Full compliance is to be completed by Jan 2014. If you haven't done it yet, it's just a matter of time on this one.
