[QUOTE="CoryAndTrevor, post: 3017431, member: 67995"] Greetings everyone, I've been reading this forum for a bit and it's awesome. Got interviewed on Wednesday, leaving tonight for local class in Harrisburg. Question is, does anyone know why we need a new DOT medical card for UPS if we already have one? Is it because they only trust the doctors they know? I would have thought the standards for DOT cards would be nation-wide, otherwise what's the point of it? Anyway, I only ask because there was a hiccup where my primary care doc had to sign off on my medications, and she didn't do it this past week, so my only hope now is to get her to fax it to the doctor that did my physical, and have them fax it to me at the HR office in Harrisburg tomorrow, all between 8:00 and 8:45 right before my class starts. The reason I bring up my existing DOT medical card is because maybe they could accept that as a temporary substitute just so I can get into class tomorrow, in case my doctor is lazy again? Anyone know if that could work? Anyone know if the DOT medical cards even look any different from doctor to doctor? Would they even be able to tell the difference, other than looking at the date on It? Obviously they'll look at the date to make sure it's not expired, but will they care that's it's not from this new doctor, or was that just my HR manager at my local hub? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
