Please help I have a question about DOT medical exam with temporary injury

I would find out of from the VA DMV what form I need to file and that would take the guess work out it. All the best with your recovery.

 

Go to your DMV tell them your situation forgot what it called exempt or non exempt? But they will guide you thru it

 

You want to "certify Tier Two", which is Excepted Interstate.

Your license remains in effect even if your medical expires, because a DOT card is not required for Tier Two.

That's what I did in Ohio. My wife has a CDL that she hasn't used in years, but went and certified Tier Two, and doesn't need a medical card.

 

Even if your CDL is downgraded to passenger car license, you have MONTHS in which you can submit a new DOT Medical Exam and have your CDL reinstated. You will NOT be required to retake the CDL driving test, endorsement tests, and pre-trip, etc. JUST MAKE SURE YOU DON'T DRIVE A TRUCK until you have that new medical exam.

 

I did the Exempt or except certification a couple years ago, while waiting on a required stress test. Once you pass the physical, just self certify again. I did it all online in Michigan. I later found out it was all for nothing, since physicals had been extended due to Covid. I should have asked on here. Could have kept working the whole time. That was aggravating to find out. Seems like I read Michigan no longer allows it. Search Virginia DOT self certification. Good Luck. Get well soon.

 

I have 3 DOT medical cards cause right now I’m trying to decide what company I want to work for but on my 3rd DOT the company doctor said he’s only giving me 3months cause he wants me to take a Sleep apnea test. I left and didn’t take the card. I currently valid for 2 years. My question is what that doctor said going to now show 3months on my license even though I will not take that job and I am current?.
