so as title says finally got my medical card. 2 year card. i had to go back, failed the first time due to vision. had to visit eye doctor and get a prescription glasses. 3 weeks and 250 dollars later i finally passed. funny thing was the day after i failed the dot vision test i went to renew my drivers license and passed their vision test. now hopefully within next 2 weeks go and take my permit test feel pretty good about the test. do you have to register your medical card with your drivers license?

Congrats and yes you have to go to DMV or on the website and add it, if you don't have one they will suspend your CDL license only until you do, of course if you have yet to get your CDL then when youdo test out they can just add it while you're there, Florida charges I think $6 to add it for you.
Good luck!!!! -
Here in CT you have to fax them your long forum, get receipt from fax for proof.
You also have to go on line to self certify.

Getsinyourblood Thanks this.

Good deal glad you passed.Make sure to get the card registered asap with your DMV.I took my recertification physical last Friday so im good for 2 yrs.But that doesn't mean I still won't have to take another physical once I get a job.You will probably have to do the same thing when you do get your first trucking job.Most the companies prefer you have their own doctor do the physical because their insurance requires it.
dave93 and "semi" retired Thank this. -
CDL holders are held to a higher vision requirement then NON-CDL holders. but congrats on passing!
