Are you required to carry your DOT Medical card at all times with a CDL?
In order to become a licensed commercial driver, you must pass a DOT medical examination.
What is being checked?
In addition to all of the above, the driver's physical data - general appearance, musculoskeletal system, limb function, etc. are checked.
Also, a DOT with a CDL is needed to show it to the freight company where you are going to get a job.
It is necessary to obtain such medical documents from the Ministry of Transport (DOT), although many requirements may seem excessive. All this ensures a safe situation on the road because the management of commercial transport is a difficult task. Thus, all professional truck drivers should get a DOT with a CDL and have it with them during trips of any duration.

Yellow Corporation announced it graduated more than 1,000 CDL apprentices from its network of driving academies in 2022.
Yellow Corporation is a large American transportation holding company that announced that in 2022 it could train more than 1,000 CDL drivers. Their driving schools showed productive results, which they plan to repeat in 2023.
How did Yellow Corporation manage it? An impressive result was achieved thanks to expanding the driving school network to 21 locations in 16 American states. In this way, in just 12 months, the number of graduates of the school has grown to 1,000 people.
Yellow Corporation themselves claim that such a result is a breakthrough for them and an impetus for even greater company expansion. They also thank all employees and, first of all, instructors of all driving schools. Thanks to their skilled work, the number of positive reviews about the school is growing, and the number of students is growing. Darren Hawkins, CEO of Yellow Corporation, confidently asserts that their graduates are qualified specialists. It is not so easy to pass the exam at school because the road is a dangerous place where you cannot send specialists who are not fully ready.
In 2023, the company plans to cooperate extensively with the US Department of Labor, as a result of which new driving schools and new paid programs will be opened. According to the sponsorship of the Ministry of Labor, more accessible places for training will be allocated, and hourly payments will be made to scholarship students.
