Every little bit of info can help!

On July 14, 2025, FMCSA issued a temporary waiver to support the ongoing transition to the Medical Examiner’s Certification Integration (NRII) system, which replaces the traditional paper-based process with secure electronic transmission of medical certification data.

FMCSA acknowledges that some drivers may experience delays during this transition and aims to prevent disruptions for drivers and employers.

What does this mean for drivers?

The waiver allows interstate CDL and CLP holders, as well as motor carriers, to continue using paper copies of medical examiner’s certificates as proof of medical certification for up to 15 days after issuance.

This waiver is effective through October 12, 2025.

Just had another CDL driver who didn't receive a medical certificate from his last exam, and was surprised I gave him one. The FMCSA has sent out several notices to Exam Doctors that CDL drivers should always receive a medical certificate (MCSA-5876) . The long form is not sufficient. The FMCSA has plans to go digital in 2025, but until then you should always have a medical certificate.
Be safe out there!

The FMCSA has ended the old vision waiver program and now has a more streamline vision exemption program in place. If you have a vision problem in one eye, you can now obtain a CDL medical card with much less hassle. Give me a call if you have any questions!
Have a great day everyone!

Ok..just to clear the air and hope everyone understands, Per the FMCSA "The Medical Examiner is also required to provide the original Medical Examiner’s Certificate, Form MCSA-5876 to those drivers that they determine are qualified. " This means when you have a DOT medical exam, the Examiner should issue you a Medical Certificate! If you have a DOT exam performed and the Examiner doesn't issue you a certificate DON'T PAY for the exam..you're getting ripped off. ( As some places only give you the Long Form and not a certificate).
