Message:: [QUOTE="Moose1958, post: 11547281, member: 54776"]I can't agree with "for a long time" but I do agree with everything else. I am old enough to remember when generally speaking MEs handed cards out like they were candy. You had a pulse, could read off those numbers, and could tell those three colors, you got a 2-year card. I remember my first physical. The ME actually just stuck his head in the door and said the nurse had my card! I was never actually examined that day! The nurse took all my vitals and did the vision check. Unless your blood pressure was so high you rang the bell you still got a 2-year card. As was mentioned, when the FMCSA dropped that top number from 160 to 140 things got MUCH tighter. I am bothered though by the MEs getting all this liability thrust on them. Might well cause some major issues down the road![/QUOTE]
