This post isnt a question just informative. I havent read any posts about this.Today I self certified my medical card at the local DMV license office. I was told the deadline was Jan 30 2014 or your CDL would be invalid until you self certify.Apparently DOT estimated 100,000 cdl drivers had a fake or invalid medical card or no medical card at all. Now theyre creating a data base to keep a record of your medical card right with your commercial drivers license. So sounds like no more getting over. Im sure company drivers probably know about this new rule and have self certified.But what about the CDL holder thats not currently driving and still currently has an old valid medical card? Im just getting back in a truck after 13 months of not driving (in a new state) and luckily heard about this recently.
Don't forget to self certify your medical card at the dmv by jan 30 2014

If you renew your medical card or get a new one from another company like I will be doing next week,you still have to take that new card to the DMV don't you?

pattyj Thanks this.

Thank you much.That's what I thought.Better safe then sorry.

Another note, this was supposed to do away with the driver actually carrying his medical card, but that also has been changed. You still have to carry your medical card at least till 2015.

Patty, I was told that we have to recertify with each renewal every two years or whenever your medical renews. Also for Swift drivers you can have your terminal safety db do it for you by email with your state DMV.
