Other Information: Texas DPS official website: Texas Texas DPS/CVE – – address and phone number.Special Information Updates – JANUARY 2015 – Pertaining To ALL STATES MEDICAL EXAMINERS MUST CONTINUE TO ISSUE MEDICAL CERTIFICATES TO ALL DRIVERS The FMCSA has requested that all medical examiners continue providing drivers with a paper copy of the medical certificate so that Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) holders can provide a copy to the State licensing agency, and the non-CDL drivers can provide the documentation to their employers and Federal and State enforcement officials. The Agency is currently completing efforts to put into place an electronic system to enable medical examiners to transmit the medical certificate information from the National Registry system to the State licensing agencies. However, until that system is completed, medical examiners must continue to issue paper copies of the medical certificates to drivers who pass the medical exam. ALL DRIVERS MUST CONTINUE TO CARRY A PAPER COPY OF THEIR MEDICAL CERTIFICATE Commercial Drivers – You still need to carry a paper copy of your medical card, until FMCSA announces that this is no longer necessary.Your Feedback Is Welcome Dealing with Federal DOT Regulations across the board is tough enough!

As an OTR driver, there is no such thing as light duty, so he must be able to perform his normal daily activity. If he is an intra-state only driver then he may fall under the states rules and regulations. He will need a stating that he is ready to return to work.

The examiner will, most likely, request a copy of his most recent stress test.All of this is based on the OTR drivers standards. If he is not class A OTR driver then he falls under different regulations from the state he lives and drives in. I went and took my dot physical today and was told that my urine had high sugar levels of about 1000 I had just eaten about fourtyfive min prior so yea I guess it would be high I am on meds my ac1 is good, thing is I don’t drive a commercial truck I drive a class c 350 ford but my company requires me to get the dot physical,because their trucks are dot reg this doc would not pass me and told me to follow up with my treating doctor will I not be able to drive a reg class c veicle what are the guidelines for that? I’ve been reading most of the comments in this thread and am at a loss for words. My problem was just the opposite from most of the individuals that posted.

I had an injury October 2012 and had have surgery December 2012. Due to the injury and the surgery I was unable to return to work at driving a School Bus.I was turned down for any other positions, they needed drivers in Texas. Well, it was clear to me that I would have to resign and in August 2013 I did so. I did not have a renewed Medical Certification that year nor the new two years. I received a ticket the end of July 2015 and guess what? My CDL was still active, no downgrade as informed. I knew about the extensions but I just thought by June 2015 I would be receiving my new downgraded license as that stated.

I have tried everything and everybody to get it back dated so that I can go to Defensive Driving School, no such luck.I had a couple friends that are still doing Transportation driving and the downgrade problem happened to them too. So, as I feel for you guys because you have had to pay in some way.I have had to pay in a big way and will still be paying when the insurance company gets the info. I tried to fight it but the city of Helotes just didn’t give a care.I wonder how long I would have been overlooked, if I hadn’t got the ticket.

Email does work, you get an automated reply stating that they have received (not processed, just received) your paperwork. Fax works as well.

In any case, be sure you get proof that you sent it whether by email or a fax receipt so if your state screws up and downgrades your license you should be able to get it reinstated for free. The forms required may vary by state. Generally you only need your medical card which contains the Registry Number of all certified medical examiner and whatever form your state requires.Hope that helps. I am currently residing in Germany because of Military Orders and I don’t want to loose my Class A CDL, however my Medical certificate expires on Sept.

5, 2015 and already got the mail from Texas DPS that my license will be downgraded if I can not update my Medical Certificate. The problem is there is no DOT Physical Doctors in Germany. How can I retain my class A in my situation?Can I self certify to a category that does not require a medical certificate and then go back to a category (1) again when I go back to Texas in 2016. My husband renewed his medical card and CDL-7 in July 2014. His medical card does not expire until July 2016.

He took both items to the DPS office in Texas and they faxed the information. He just received a letter in the mail that his CDL is being downgraded for “failure to meet required deadline” of providing his CDL-7 by January 30, 2015.I cannot find the answer any place as to – How often is the CDL-7 suppose to be filled out? Is it annually, every six months, at job changes? He is class A and B – he has switched jobs, but there is no change in his CDL-7.Mem, I received the following email which I’ve pasted below on March 12th. Evidently, there is some type of glitch in TXDPS system which is downgrading CDLs even if there is self-certification on file.

I work for a motor carrier and manage over 2000 Driver Qualification files. I’ve had several of my drivers receive the same letter.My guys have been able to get their CDLs back without and issues so far.

I hope this helps! “The Texas Department of Public Safety has issued a clarification to roadside enforcement this week asking troopers to honor proof of a CDL and a valid medical card roadside, without regard to the transmitted computer return of license and CDL status. They will be documenting the contradiction or disclaimer of compliance in their “remarks” section of the inspection report and are instructing personnel not to place a driver “out of service,” however if an out-of-service has occurred already on previous inspection reports, a DQ challenge from the affected may still be initiated. The department has also notified all driver’s license offices to process self-certification transitions as “no-fee” upgrades, if the driver can show that they have a current medical certification card that was valid at the time of the January submission deadline.TxDPS is reporting that most updates are being processed within seven days, therefore if a driver submits an update by any other method than going to the driver’s license office, it may take a week to process. TxDPS is also asking carriers to submit a list of their drivers for whom they had previously submitted proof of medical certification via email to TxDPS. That list should include the driver’s name, date of birth and CDL number.

It apparently is annual by January 30th each year I’m pretty sure but not positive.and my Med Examiner’s Certificate doesn’t expire until 10/2015. In order to avoid missing the JAN 30th, 2015 deadline, I mailed we’re Form CDL-7 on 12-12-14. Yesterday Friday May 29, 2015 I received the DPS letter stating that my CDL has been downgraded because they said they did not receive my CDL-7 by JAN 30th, 2015. They already have my current & valid Medical Examiners Cert. On file from last year like they do for everyone with a TX CDL.I don’t see how they can trash a person’s hard-earned money and efforts to get a CDL based on a missed arbitrary deadline to turn in a document which they already have in their records.

I just got a Texas DPS letter stating that my $4000 CDL has been downgraded to a class C, and if that weren’t bad enough, in order to get my CDL reinstated, I (and everyone else who has this problem) will have repay every license fee and take every test, both written and driving tests, all over again. I cannot afford this and it could jeopardize my job for which I am required to maintain a valid Class A. This is governmental corruption gone wild & rotten to the core.We the people are going to have to take back our government before they incarcerate everyone but themselves since they are always exempted from their ridiculous unwanted laws. My employer also sent medical card and certification by email and as of yesterday, myself and one other employee have received a Commercial Driver License Downgrade Notice.My employer is currently trying to get this corrected.

They have found that this is happening all over Texas.It has to be some kind of a computer glitch or an employee did not enter the information into the Texas Department of Public Safety system. This is something that needs to be corrected on they’re end.Think about the drivers who have not been home to receive the downgrade notice. IF YOU PASS THE PHYSICAL PART OF MEDICAL DOT AND ARE ASKED TO FURNISH COPY OF STRESS TEST & A LETTER FROM YOUR HEART DOCTOR STATEING IN HIS OPINION YOU ARE CAPABLE OF DRIVING,WHICH YOU DO IN A TIMELY MANNER,THE DOCTORS OFFICE SENT IN A 3 MONTH CERTIFICATE AND TOLD ME WHEN YOU COME BACK WITH THIS INFO THEY WOULD GIVE ME THE YEARLY CARD.NOW THEY SAY SINCE THEY GAVE ME THE 3 MONTH ONE I HAVE TO COME BACK IN 3 MONTHS WHEN IT EXPIRES AND TAKE ANOTHER PHYSICAL BECAUSE THAT IS THE LAW! JUST DOESN’T SEEM THIS IS RIGHT. THAT WOULD BE $250.00 IN 3 MONTHS FOR A CARD. Serial Data Scope Meaning. I didn’t even know about this “rule” until sometime in June.I sent my medical certification to the State of Texas by email.

They accepted it and updated my record to show that I had the medical certification card. Now, I recently went to change my address on my license because I moved and received a letter stating my current medical card will expire soon.

Not sure if that means they plan to not send me my license or what. Could just be coincidence the letter came when it did. But I should have my license long before my medical card expires and with plenty of time to go get a new medical card.If they are trying to claim I need to go get a new one first, then send it all in and then they will send my license that is just crapola, and the State or FMCSA should have to pay for the new medical certification cards if they need to be done that much in advance of their expiration dates. @Jim All this now depends on time frames and reporting processes.

First card was good for two years and then a one year card. What changed? Next – If the second card was issued after May 21, 2014 then your medical card will expire in one year according to FMCSA records. The state has its own set of rules and records. So your original 2-year card is what may still be in the system.Just check with your DMV, they can tell you what is going on. I doubt that they will over-ride a two year card because of a new one, but I would question it and not assume anything.I would assume the answer to that would be no.

Reason being, you knowingly knew you got a new card for one year. The reason you got the card for one year instead of two is for health reasons which could ultimately render you ineligible to operate a CMV. You should have been honest and forthcoming when you sent your medical card. Unless you had already sent the two year card and just didn’t send the new one year card you have.

If you haven’t sent it in yet, you should so they can update their records.That is kind of the reason they have the database now. To stop the ones who are driving without it, and those who are not telling the truth about their health status to avoid disqualification. Thanks for your reply but I still don’t understand why I can’t get my card to drive.

I could understand if it was something to do with my heart and I might would have a heart attack while driving and cause an accident.But this is just unseen blood in my urine. I passed every other part of the physical and this could be cleared up after I go back to work. I can’t understand how blood in my urine would affect my ability to drive or cause any danger to the public if I went back to driving while I was having it checked out by a urologist. Even a temporary 3 month card would give me the chance to go back to work while having it checked out but they wouldn’t even give me that. I went in for a recertification for my dot cdl medical card and was only given a 3 month certification. The doctor said this was due to my high bmi and the circumference of my neck which he says should be 16 inches and lower for a woman.Mine was 16 1/4 inch. He stated because the results that this indicated a high risk of me falling asleep behind the wheel.

He advised me that I would have 3 months to complete a sleep study for sleep apnea. Is this true?Back in 2012 when I went for the first time for my dot cdl medical card and my neck was not measured.

Nor was my bmi a problem. My weight remains the same as the last time. Please help me with my question. Provide for me a website that shows this is a new requirement for dot physicals.

@Jonathan The consequences for not certifying by the deadline, or not updating DMV with your renewed medical card, differ from state to state.Some states have a grace period, some charge a reinstatement fee, some require retesting. Looks like in Texas you are SOL! We just looked up the information for you on the.

Refer to question: What if I do not provide the DL office with my self-certification and my medical examiner’s certificate with any required variance document, if required, by January 30, 2014? Texas DPS answer: The Department will notify you that you are no longer medically certified to operate a CMV in non-excepted Interstate/Intrastate commerce and will remove all your CDL privileges from your license.If you are downgraded in January 2014, you will receive a new Class C license in the mail.

If you do not have this minimum auto insurance coverage your drivers license can be suspended for up to three years or until proof of Florida auto insurance is provided. In addition to providing proof of auto insurance you will be required to pay a fee of $150 to $500. Find out if your license is suspended.

After that date, you must visit your local DL Office to receive a new license. Please note if your CDL is downgraded to a Class C you must retake all CDL written and driving test to reestablish your CDL.insert expletive here Sorry.
