Ok, so per the below post here and Tool Talk, I thought I would post some additional information that may be of interest regarding this subject, as well as some additional information that may be of help in general.
My medical examiners certificate was to expire on 1-22-15, so on that day I went in for the exam and passed same, a new medical examiners card was issued on that date. I mailed it into NYS DMV to the Medical Certification Unit on 1-23-15, they should have received it on 1-26-15 the latest. No lapse on my end, just the mail. I did this intentionally, waited til the 22nd etc,. to see what NYS DMV does once your card expires given they need a hard copy of it,(its supposed to change to electronic) They sent; Notice of Non-Compliance and License Downgrade, stipulating that on 3-19-2015, my CDL A would be downgraded. I assume I'll receive another notice rescinding or superseding the previous. Obviously, all CDL drivers should note the date on their med card and get the exam done well in advance, just common sense. I don't drive daily for a living, just a back up for one farm and any other opportunities that may interest me to do so, but I do maintain it and will do so indefinitely or such time I am no longer able. If by chance you (in NY) get a notice like this, they state to avoid the downgrade you must submit the current certificate and:
"We must receive your medical certificate at least 20 days prior to the effective date of the licenses downgrade to allow for processing time and to prevent the downgrade from occurring.
Ok, so in NYS, if yours does expire, they allow ample time ie; mine 1-22-15 expired, technically speaking and according to NYS I have until Feb 28 2015 to get it to them. I'm down graded on 3-19-15, so it would appear you have a grace period. In my case, its assumed the mail is received they got it on 1-26-15.
You can fax it to the medical certification unit at: (518)486-4421 or (518)486-3260
You can Email it to:

You can (in NY) check your own Medical Certification Status by creating an account at:

Additionally, as of 5-21-14 commercial drivers must obtain their US DOT Medical Examiners Certificate from a certified medical examiner listed on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners. It states to visit the following site to do this:

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together.
