[QUOTE="1989, post: 363225, member: 10280"] There are different factors that are invovled in DOT requirements. Vehicle size is only one. There is a difference also in the vehicle type. Any vehicle operating air systems as in air brakes requires not only a DOT medical card but also a CDL. Since UPS operates both types of vehicles (pkg cars don't have air systems) it makes sense for them to require all drivers to have DOT card. UPS has many cars with air brakes that don't require a CDL because they are under the DOT weight limit. We call them cage cars. They can hold 2 air huts/igloos. You can wheel 8 pallets straight in.
