A DOT Medical Card is also known as a DOT Medical Examiner's Certificate. It is proof that a commercial driver was examined by a qualified medical examiner and was found medically qualified to operate a commercial motor vehicle under applicable federal DOT rules. The governing federal regulation is primarily 49 CFR § 391.41, which sets the physical qualifications for drivers, along with § 391.43, which covers the medical examination.

Due to a new FMCSAR in 2026, a verification must be done to all Medical Examiners to see if they are certified to administer a Medical Card. All Medical Examiners must now be listed in the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners. The primary mission of the National Registry is to improve highway safety by producing trained, certified medical examiners who can effectively determine if interstate commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers meet FMCSA's physical qualification standards.

The #1 reason a driver gets fired is for “Failure to always maintain control of his vehicle”. I wish I didn’t have to say it like this, but I’m going to say it anyways. “You are not being hired to drive farm animals. You are being hired to SAFELY transport humans. - Moms, dads, children, grandmothers, peoples loved ones. If you are driving a limousine or a bus for a living, and you are hitting things and side-swiping things, you clearly need to find a new career. Driving is NOT FOR YOU. If you return a vehicle with damage on it, and it was not reported before you departed our lot, then you will be held responsible for the damage. If the damage needs to go through our insurance, then you will be held responsible for the insurance deductible, just like you are on your own car. If you do not like this rule, please do not sign this form and seek employment elsewhere.

The #2 reason a driver gets fired is for "Returning  a limo dirty". The problem is not that he didn't do a 2-minute vacuum on the carpet. It is that he has no respect for himself, the company, the cleaning crew, or the next driver. For that specific reason, he/she does not belong on our team. If an exception is made and the lazy driver is not fired, than he will be fined a Cleaning Fee. If you do not like this Driver Consent Rule, please, for the love of Mary, James, John, Peter and the whole crew... go work for another company.

Under federal rules, if a vehicle is designed to transport 16 or more people, including the driver, the person operating it generally must have a CDL with a Passenger (P) endorsement. FMCSA states this explicitly in its current CDL guidance. The key regulations are 49 CFR §§ 383.5, 383.91, and 383.93. Section 383.93 establishes the Passenger (P) endorsement requirements. If you are hired as a CDL driver, but you have no Passenger endorsement, then you can only drive NON CDL vehicles that carry 15 people or less.  If that is you, you must sign this CDL Ryder.

All CDL Applicants must pass a Pre Employment Drug Test

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations require CDL drivers who operate commercial motor vehicles designed to transport 16 or more people, including the driver, to comply with federal drug and alcohol testing requirements. Under 49 CFR § 382.301, an employer must receive a verified negative pre-employment controlled-substances test result before allowing the driver to perform safety-sensitive duties, including operating the vehicle. This requirement helps ensure that CDL chauffeurs are drug-free and qualified to safely transport passengers before beginning employment.

The FMCSA regulation 49 CFR § 391.25 Requires a motor carrier, at least once every 12 months, to:

• Obtain the driver’s current Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) covering at least the preceding 12 months.
• Review that driving record to determine whether the driver continues to meet the minimum requirements for safe driving or has become disqualified.
• Consider accidents, traffic violations, speeding, reckless driving, DUI/drug-related violations, and other relevant safety information.
• Keep the MVR and documentation showing who performed the annual review and the date of the review in the driver’s qualification file. 

This is called a Annual Inquiry and Review of Driving Record.
