K2 Restriction

When you certify on line “IntrAstate” is what makes you get the K on your license.
For me it was a medical waiver rule to not cross state lines.


My road to “K” below.
Depending on why you failed the Medical exam (1 bad eye for me) you may be able to get a medical waiver.
If you call Fed. Gov. they will tell you, you need to get a state medical waiver first and have this for 3 years. So you call your state DMV, Call do not look up this information as ALL of the information & forums you need may not be on line. Once you have the state forums and they are filled out by the doctor(s) and a medical re-exam showing you have passed with the waiver you send them back to the state DMV and if approved they send you the waiver.
You will then need to certify on line you cannot cross state lines (intrastate), rules of the waiver for 3 years, then go to DMV with waiver and medical long forum to have the K restriction added to your CDL license.

That is how it worked for me. Medical card is good for only 1 year. I have heard of only 6 month cards too. Waiver good for 2 years but you need it in state for 3 years documenting miles driven and for who before you can apply for a Fed. Gov. medical waiver to cross state lines and hope to get the “K” removed.
The Fed. Gov. did tell me you can get some time/miles in 1 state and if you move carry that over to your new state for the remainder time/miles. I have not tried this yet so when I move I will put it to the test.

BTW mine does not say "K2" just "K" & "W" W=waiver.
I also have a "B" for corrective lenses.
Restrictions on mine = BKW
