Many times delays and even failures can be avoided if a driver brings the necessary items.
Drivers need to bring the following items:
1. Valid Driver's License or ID: A government-issued photo identification.
2. Medical History Information;
- Any relevant past medical records or notes from your doctor if you're being treated for a condition that may impact driving (e.g., diabetes, high blood pressure).
- A list of all “current medications” (names, dosages, and prescribing doctors).
3. Eyeglasses or Contact Lenses: If you use them for vision correction.
4. Hearing Aids: If you require them, bring them to the exam.
5. Sleep Apnea Documentation: If you have sleep apnea, bring any CPAP compliance records or sleep study results for the past 90 days.
6. Diabetes Information: If you're diabetic, bring a log of your blood sugar levels and any related medical records or recent blood work results.
7. Cardiac Documentation: If you have a heart condition, bring recent cardiologist reports, stress test results, or echocardiograms, if applicable.
8. Medical Exemption Forms: If you have an FMCSA medical exemption (for vision, diabetes, or other), bring this form to show compliance with medical requirements.
