Got stripped of my CDL!

It is not the DOT. It is your state that will control that. They are mandated by the FMCSA to comply. If you don't self certify your state can downgrade your licence. Quit playing with a loaded gun. Just get the form and get it to your state.

 

If you read my other post I have to visit DMV on Thursday, I will ask. If they say fill it out, I will fill it out. I am not playing with the loaded gun, I can't force DMV to do something they do not want to, especially a clerk at a window who can mess with license. All they need to do is check the box, Revoked, then I have a real problem. Then again, I can always have them contact you.

 

Google your state and self certification. This is mandated by the FMCSA and was in effect 3 years ago. I really do not know why you just don't do it. It takes 2 min to fill out and was supposed to be done 3 years ago and if current as soon as you get your med card filed with the DMV

 

I had that happen to me in pa at dod facility. After my dot physical, I personally took my new card to va dmv and they said they it would be updated. A year and a few months later, i was at dod facility and they said they were impounding my truck cause i wasnt a valid cdl driver. I had to call va dmv then find a fax machine to fax it over. Its way past time to drain the swamp....

 

@Mark Kling Thank you for your concern. I have tried to be decent about it, but what part of Thursday don't you understand? Normally you are very helpful, but you keep posting the same thing, but as I have stated now 3 times, I will ask when I am in the DMV Office on Thursday. You may not like the answer, Thursday may not be soon enough for you, but I will not go stand inline for a full day when I can walk up on Thursday.

 

Which State are you in? Below is in case your DMV is not aware of it.

I know in NC they sent out letters and you had x days to comply. If you did not your license was downgraded to a "C" license.

Medical

All commercial drivers of vehicles in interstate commerce with a maximum gross vehicle weight rating of over 10,000 pounds (4,536 kilograms) are required to obtain and maintain a valid Medical Examiner's Certificate (ME Certificate) Commercial drivers who drive vehicles requiring a CDL have two additional requirements. On or before January 30, 2014, all CDL holders must declare to their State Driver Licensing Agency (SDLA) that they only operate or expect to operate commercially in 1 of 4 possible categories with their CDL. This process is called self-certification. For more information on the self-certification categories see the Self-Certification FAQ's.

Compliance

January 30, 2015 States must begin enforcing the regulation that paper copies of the Medical Examiner's Certificate are only valid for the first 15 days after their issuance

How do I determine which of the 4 categories of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operation I should self-certify to with my State Driver Licensing Agency (SDLA)?

 

So what did the DMV say?

 

I just walked in the door. I do not need to fill it out, nor does anyone who obtained their CDL, or signed the State Medical Form before it was replaced by the DOT Medical Form. Anyone in Ca who has had a CDL self-certified before it was required by FMCSA, and self-certification does not need to renewed.
If you apply for, or visit a DMV Office for an endorsement change, change in License Class, or apply for a CDL License or Permit, you sign a DL44C, which has the self certification statement included. The only time anyone would use the form you linked is if they change from an Non-Excepted Interstate to Non-Excepted IntraState, or vice versa and there is no change in License Class, or endorsements. FMCSA also has 4 classes for self certification, California only recognizes 2 and does not exempt any CDL holders from the DOT Medical Requirement.
Mine was done in 2009, well before FMCSA required it, and self-certifications that do not list the FMCSA regulatory references are accepted by the FMCSA as being compliant. They showed me the statement on an old State Medical Form they have digitized from March 2009, 8 years ago, and it was just a blip on the form, and only cited Ca State Law. So those rushing to sign theirs, you probably already have. The DMV can see the date of the old ones, and it is not reflected on the online version of your driving record. I was also told you can fax in your medical, since you have already self-certified there is no requirement to recertify. Basically Cal was compliant well before the Fed's required it, and you only have to certify once, and don't have to worry about it unless you change certification classes.

 

Just show DMV the paper copy
