    Re-test to get your cdl back. That's what you have to do in Tx anyway.

    Retest. AFTER you get a valid DOT Medical.

    This happened to me a couple years ago, had to get the medical card first then just go to the DMV and have my CDL reinstated – did not have to retest.
    That is in Arizona.

    Washington simply requires you submit a new medical to get your Class A status reinstated, each jurisdiction is different. Call your state, or go on their webpage for accurate info...

    In North Carolina you just send in your new med cert. But here you are not just downgraded, they suspend your class C also. So if med card expires you can’t even drive a car.

    We have to pay a reinstatement fee.

    Don't know if there's a grace period and possible retest.

    I had to submit fingerprints. And $40. It was day 30 on suspension.
     
    Jrwhite3230 Thanks this.

    In CO you just have to file an updated medical card within one year from it expiring and you do not have to retest.
