Every CDL holder needs a current DOT medical card to drive commercially. The standard renewal is every 2 years, but drivers with conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea may be on 1-year or even 90-day certificates. ExpirVault tracks each driver's specific renewal date.

An expired medical card immediately downgrades a CDL holder's license. There's no grace period -- the driver is disqualified the day after expiration.
Under FMCSA regulations, when a DOT medical card expires, the driver's CDL is automatically downgraded to a standard Class D license. The driver cannot legally operate a commercial vehicle until they pass a new DOT physical and file the new certificate with the state DMV.
DOT inspectors check medical cards during routine inspections. An expired card is an automatic out-of-service order. The driver is sidelined on the spot, the load is delayed, and the violation goes on your carrier record -- triggering more frequent inspections.
When a driver's medical card expires unexpectedly, you're scrambling to cover their routes. For a small fleet, losing even one driver for a few days while they get a new physical exam can mean missed deliveries, unhappy customers, and penalty charges.
Not every medical card is on a 2-year cycle. Drivers with insulin-treated diabetes, vision waivers, or sleep apnea may be on 1-year or even shorter certificates. ExpirVault lets you set the exact expiry for each driver based on their individual medical card.
Upload DOT medical examiner's certificates, long form physicals, and any exemption documentation. When a DOT auditor requests your driver qualification files, every medical card is organized and accessible -- not buried in a filing cabinet at the terminal.
See which drivers are current, which are approaching renewal, and which are overdue -- all in one view. Flag drivers on shortened medical certificates so their more frequent renewals don't get missed in the shuffle.
ExpirVault tracks DOT medical certificates for every driver and alerts you before the physical exam deadline arrives.
