[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 2157876, member: 8481"] Anyone driving a CMV (Commercial Motor Vehicle) is required to have a valid MEC (Medical Examiners Certificate - DOT Card) Commercial motor vehicle means any self-propelled or towed motor vehicle used on a highway in interstate commerce to transport passengers or property when the vehicle— (1) Has a gross vehicle weight rating or gross combination weight rating, or gross vehicle weight or gross combination weight, of 4,536 kg (10,001 pounds) or more, whichever is greater. Package cars up to a 700, I believe, are under 10,001 pounds, but UPS requires all drivers to have a DOT card. If you didn't have a DOT card, you would be unable to drive a 1000 or 1200. You may be required to drive something heavier than a 700, hence the need for a DOT card. UPS is not going to limit a package car driver to a 700 or lighter. DOT cards for everyone. If you can't pass a DOT physical, you don't drive. [/QUOTE]
