    Yep losttrucker my hubby went to NCDMV while he was home and the guy working the counter laughed and said they don't even have it in their system yet and handed him a 4 page letter that pretty much said don't worry about it until early 2014.

    Yep, the card is refered to as the certificate in the regulations and is the only thing required to be carried by the driver, unless the driver has waivers and exemptions, he needs to carry that paperwork per 391.41. The long form is called the medical examination form.

    It even says on the certificate that the doctor has the long form on file which is required by the doctor. The card even has the doctors phone number on it if need be. They can fax it in a minute if there is any need like an accident investigation.

    I can't even add an endorsement to my license without having a health card. Every time I enter the DMV, it seems, they are asking for it.

    I got a letter to fax my medical card to the state licensing office prior to renewal of my CDL. After they receive it, it takes 48hrs for processing and 5-7 business days to receive a conformation letter from them saying my card is in the system.

    I cannot renew w/o providing the local branch the conformation (approval) letter. From what I've gathered, they'll no longer be asking to bring in the medical card upon renewal.

    Your neighbors to the north (KY) are in the ....WERE in the same boat.

    I'm thinking w/the new ruling, every two years I will need to fax a copy of my new med card for the state to have on file, though.

    That's what I'm digging about the rule. In the end it makes things a lot easier on my end.
