My road test is this week. I already have a CDL and subsequent DOT medical card. Do I need to get a new one through UPS once I pass? or will my background checks and processing be quicker
I would guess this too. UPS physical standards are tougher than the DOT requires. (Mostly concerning BP). Any of you getting a 1 year card, like me, probably know the DOT doesn't require this for most drivers. UPS requires it at less BP than the DOT.You will have to get a new DOT card. Let them worry about it. They'll tell you when and where to go.
I always request that if they forget.Most companies don't do the DOT rectal check in their exams so you will have to be retested.

Did that make sense??!

If your Dot card is still good your ok you just need to give a copy to UPS so they know when it going to expire and they know you have one. You go to a DOT certified Dr to get your DOT card usually the same one or two that every one that needs a DOT card in your Area working for UPS or not goes so you will be fine. The Police officer that pulls you over doesn't care who you go to as long as you have a card.
Oh yeah? Well I tell him to use two fingers, just to be sure he doesn't miss anything.I have them start and again end with that test just to be sure I'm good.

My ex has to get his DOT every year because of his BP. It is required by DOT.
Do YOU have/know how to do any of those things, kid? Thought not.I don't see why the hassle to drive a hideous package car. As long as you have your license, clean driving record, know how to drive a stick, then you're good to go.
Ups cares about our BP because most drivers dont have bosses or a bunch of goals that can never be meet put up on them on a daily basesI don't see why the hassle to drive a hideous package car.
