I need the physical card, and long form paperwork. I am looking through the texas DMV site, and fmcsa.dot.gov to see if I can find it. They are not exactly user friendly so wanted to check and see if anyone here happened to know where I could get them. edit: is this is? http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/documents/safetyprograms/Medical-Report.pdf and that's all you take to get the exam?
just so that you know, a paper DOT card is not acceptable...it has to be the cardboard type given by the clinic/doctor/trunking company....now i should back this up a bit and say, "here in my area, and the states i deal with, a paper DOT health card is unacceptable."...maybe texas allows this, but to be on the safe side, go to the clinic....or even look for the local ATA affiliate trucking chapter in your state, as they will have just about ANYTHING a driver needs....
by your link, thank you for confirming what i had said... Print the Certificate on cardstock paper. It is permissible to reduce the size of the Certificate. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-cardstock.htm The name cardstock comes from "card stock," which originally meant the stock of card as received from the manufacturer. Today, cardstock, for which cover stock is sometimes used as a synonym, is used for a range of paper weights that are in demand for scrapbooking, as mounting surfaces for prints to be framed, for making business cards and greeting cards, and for a variety of paper crafts. The main features that distinguish a sheet of cardstock are weight, fiber, color, finish and surface texture, and size. Of these, weight is the feature that actually defines cardstock. in other words, even by the DOT, ordinary paper is not allowed.....
You can print on photo paper or cardstock like rerun says. It shouldn't be an issue like frontrange says, the doc supplies them. You get good at it, then you can start printing money, lol.
