Fulfilling CDL Requirements a Snap

By now most of you who have a Commercial Driver’s License know about the legislation requiring you to confirm your status with the Department of Revenue.  This helps determine whether or not you must obtain a medical examination certification (DOT medical card).

Many of you may not know this, but I have a CDL myself and had to comply to the rules just like you. So, I wanted to use this this week’s post to let you know how incredibly easy it was to complete.

I did it on my lunch break. It took about two minutes and cost me $2.

In this week’s issue of Connections, there is a detailed article that addresses most of the questions you all might have over this process.  I recommend you check the article out. I’m sure it will alleviate many of your concerns.

This action is mandatory so get it done as soon as you can.  But if you’re worried about making time for the process, let me tell you from experience:  There’s nothing to it!

The Key to Safety is Vigilence

Safety is our number-one priority.  It is at the top of MoDOT’s Values and Tangible Results.  But safety isn’t just about putting on the right equipment.  And it isn’t just about numbers and statistics.  It is something that must be at the forefront of our minds every hour of every day.   It requires vigilance.  We must always remember that being vigilant about safety means we go home safe every evening.  Because in the end, safety is not just about us.  It is about our families, our friends, our customers and our coworkers.

Below is a video that covers my view of this important topic. Feel free to comment and share your own views. Let me know what you think!
