Source: ASMARK RISK MANAGEMENT NEWSLETTER, 9/1/21 DOT has extended the waiver for expiring
Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDLs) and permits, as well as Non-CDL licenses
for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers, until November 30, 2021 in response
to the COVID-19 public health emergency. While many States have now reopened their State Driver Licensing
Agencies (SDLA), the delta variant has impacted the pace of return to normal
customer service levels in some States. As a result, some CDL holders may
be unable to renew their CDLs or provide medical certificates to their
SDLA. DOT intends to review the status of this waiver as of October 1,
2021 and may act to terminate the waiver sooner if conditions warrant. Drivers claiming relief under this waiver must continue to carry a
paper copy of their expired medical certificate. Asmark will continue to
mark drivers that fall within the specified time-frame of the waiver as
"Attention Needed" on Snapshots, as well as indicate the waiver's
time frame on the monthly status reports. Please Note: Drivers are strongly encouraged to obtain their renewed licenses
and medical certificates as soon as possible. We also recommend checking with
your State Driver Licensing Agency (SDLA) to see if they are following the
federal waiver.
