Address on Medical Examiner's Certificate
I just realized after nearly a year of having moved away from Boston that my DOT Medical Card displays my old Boston address. Do I need to keep that address current? The certificate expires in a year.
I went through a DOT inspection once during my employment at Roehl and the inspector didn't seem to notice and/or care about the discrepancy between the addresses on my CDL which is current and that of my DOT medical card, which is not. Thanks! |
I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks Rev. New employer, so I'm trying to make sure everything's kosher before I go in.

Mine doesn't show the correct address either. As long as it isn't expired, then you should be ok.
|
what about DL number? if the address is current but the DL is differant? cause i was planning on moving woul di have to get a new med card after i change my license over from state to state??

alright cause it expires end of Oct. '07 so either way i need a new on before then.

if he is going to a new employer, the new employer is I believe, actually required to have a DOT physical done at time of hire, regardless of the expiration date on his current med card.
So the address issue would be a no issue, since a new med card would be issued. On the other hand, providing the current carriers records reflect his new/current address, then the address on the current med card need not reflect the correct address. Texas still allows CDL drivers to use a PO Box on their license and other official records, regardless of physical address. Louis |

The medical address means nothing! Only the drivers licences means anything and I am not sure on them laws so I won't even go there. I thought it was the state had to match the state you live in (this could be our company policy though). :?: |
