Posted on Saturday, February 10, 2018 8:51 AM
Just a few tips to make it a little less stressful. - A driver with diabetes MUST have a copy of the latest A1C percentage (within the last 90 days).
- A driver with high blood pressure must bring a list of medications and doctors information.
- A driver with any heart or lung issues must bring a list of medications, doctors information and a medical release to operate a CMV (commercial vehicle). The letter must say driver is cleared to drive a commercial vehicle!
- A driver with a BMI > 33-35% with a neck > 17" (male) or with a neck >16" (female) MAY require further testing to rule out sleep apnea.
- A driver currently using a CPAP for sleep apnea, must bring in percent compliance printout from machine or company.
- AFTER RENEWAL: The driver is responsible for providing his or her licensing state with updated information of each new medical exam certificate, the little card not the long form!
- Doctor will provide the same information to NRCME federal data base.
- Mail certificate to: CO Dept. of Revenue, Attn. CDL Unit, 1881 Pierce St., Lakewood, Co. 80214
Call in a couple of days to confirm that they received it : 303-205-5829 - I hope this will help make you CDL physical a little less stressful. We are very proud of our truckers and appreciate all of your hard work!
