Time to Renew Your CDL or Medical Card? 🚛📋
Your CDL and medical certification have separate expiration dates. Keep track of both and start the renewal process early 👇
❕ Check your state’s requirements.
CDL renewal procedures, documents, fees, and testing requirements vary by state. Review your state licensing agency’s instructions before your appointment.
❕ Schedule your DOT physical.
If your driving category requires medical certification, book an exam with a medical examiner listed on the FMCSA National Registry.
❕ Verify your medical status.
Medical results are now transmitted electronically through the FMCSA system to state licensing agencies. Check that your updated certification appears on your driving record and follow your state’s instructions if it does not.
❕ Keep your team informed.
Let your Safety Department know when you renew your documents or experience any delays.
Set reminders now. Don’t let an expired document interrupt your next trip!
