    I had to do one. Your friends mileage may vary.

    Probably depends on the state. In Michigan if I remember right my license is good for 4 years. Every other renewal they do the eye test. So every 8 years.

    the question is about picking up your CDL after passing the driving test (and having a approved med card in hand)

    I would call them

    Might find their chart online for your friend to memorize like they did the other exam

    check with the state DMV where you live.

    it's not 1 size fits all

    if you can't see, don't drive.

    he's been doing it for 7 years without so much as a traffic ticket with a 25k cmv. But i'm positive the Super Truckers will troll this thread soon.

    i never had that happen. i usually always had a doctors eye exam, and the DMV accepts that.

    if he had his DOT physical, that should have already been done.

    but, anything is possible these days, like a breathing toxic air tax.
