Examiner's wife (handles paperwork) was surprised to see me. Explained situation...
STILL she was surprised I needed a new Fed. Med.. She didn't know anything about needing a new one following time off due to a work-related injury. They've been doing this for years! State of Wisconsin still shows my old one as valid. She actually thinks it may just be a J.B. Hunt thing.
Anyone know WHERE the FMCSA says this is a requirement?
It will probably only be valid until my upcoming surgery but I become legal to drive a CMV (or limo) again soon!
Woo HOO!
