If you haven’t entered the logistics sphere, you may not know why the Medical Card Driver Examination is needed. The Truck Dispatcher Training is here to fill the gap in your Terminology.
The Department of Transportation medical certification is a certifying credential commercial drivers complete to demonstrate physical, mental and emotional fitness to perform in a commercial driving role. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) awards this credential to commercial vehicle drivers after they complete a physical examination through DOT-approved medical providers. Completing the physical examination is a requirement for receiving your DOT Medical Examiner’s Certificate and operating safety-sensitive driving equipment. Additionally, each state’s criteria can vary, so it’s important to research the exact requirements your state transportation department establishes.
A commercial driver, which includes CDL and non-CDL drivers alike, must be medically certified at least once every 24 months.
