    No. On the form they sent me with the notice the only boxes to check are for ones if you're intrastate, have a medical exemption and then there's another restriction that I can't think of off the top of my head. There isn't an option for me to retain my cdl after 5/5/2015 without submitting them updated medical card. If I don't do that by 5/5/2015 I loose my cdl status and would have to re-obtain it, which is something I DON'T want to do.

    Also I'm in Maryland.

    Sorry! I thought I read that somewhere.. I think they should make the medical examiner fax the forms.. Ah well, such is life.

    My medical examiner that I got my first physical from in March of 2013 must have submitted the forms because I didn't. I got that physical then about 2 weeks later I started trucking school. Maybe the school I went to submitted them, because I was never told I needed to and didn't know.

    On the door of the DMV here it says they will not accept long form, as it is medical history which is basically none of their business, they just check the small card and put it into the computer, of course the doctor/registered nurse has to have a registry number and have put it into the computer also.

    Never assume the school or examiner sent them. It your DMV doesn't get them and the card expires, they will downgrade your license to a regular car license until you provide them with an updated medical card. If you get caught driving a cmv with a downgrade, that's big trouble.

    Yeah as I think back I got my physical then went to the DMV to take my test for my permit, which I showed them my medical card ( not longform ), thus is how it was put on record. I didn't notify them of the newer med card I got in Sept of 2013, but I will this week.
