Did my DOT physical at a Care Now clinic, got a 2 year card.
Clinic gave me the MEC and related DOT forms but all on standard sized 8x12 pieces of paper.
No wallet card, they said they don't give those out.
This isn't the first time this has happened and it's never been an issue in the past with FedEx. My last exam at a different clinic I did get a wallet card.
Looking online with a google search it doesn't really seem to be a requirement any longer to physically carry a wallet card as everything is electronically submitted and attached to your CDL information in all the systems.
NOW, FedEx safety is saying I'm required to have a wallet card and "rejected" my physical until I get one.
I went to the DMV and they accepted and updated everything just fine no issues.
Called the clinic and asked for a wallet card (again) and they basically said sorry we gave you your MEC and associated paperwork and that's all you need and it's transmitted electronically to the DOT.
I guess I could shrink it down on a copy machine...seems kinda dumb as I have the form in my clipboard I carry with me everywhere I drive a company truck.
So what's the story here? Anyone have the same issue with FedEx and a wallet card?
In my 31+ years of driving I've never had this issue having a company "reject" my physical for this.
