    After I made a delivery in Loveland colorado. I pulled out my cdl as the front gate usually asks for it by the time I left After making my delivery I hadn't notice til the next day in Hudson colorado that I didn't have my cdl as it wasn't in my wallet or inside my truck. So will California DMV send me a temporary license to get back to California ?

    Note to Self: take a photo of my CDL.

    Not sure you would want to wait around that long for them to first create another physical license (without a photo?) and second to ship it to you in Colorado.

    Do you have another official ID like a Passport?
     
    Ougigoug and G13Tomcat Thank this.

    Is going back to the place you left it an option? Or call to see if they have it and see what they say?

    I was told by the last receiver they havent seen it or it's not there. Also I would had to take a cab There which isnt cheap

    Call your company and they'll fax you a copy of your CDL.That will be good till you get back to Calif.I've lost my CDL quite a few times when I did OTR.

    My companies reply was to call my state DMV for a temporary license then they would route me back to my home state to get a hard copy

    No not yet then again the one who told me to call my state DMV wasn't my normal weekday manager and even If I was able to get a temp it would take awhile making appt just to get another hard copy as they are usually booked months at a time and the next available appt time could be any Where from 2 to 3 months

    If you have to lie to your company so they'll fax you a copy of your CDL.Tell them Calif won't send you a temporary copy.
