    At any rate, I am feeling much better about this. Initially, I thought I was bound to haul freight which only crossed state lines. Now, it doesn't seem that. I'm stoked about driving again.

    Thanks again!

    I believe you would be filing under the #1 option, not #2.
    But let me check the 4 noted "exceptions" listed under option 2, with the FMCSA regs.

    I believe you are right. I believe I chose option #2 to keep my CDL w/o needing a medical card when I renewed last year.

    Option 2 lists:
    Category 2: Interstate, but operating exclusively in transportation or operations excepted under 49 CFR 390.3(f), 391.2, 391.68, or 398.3. Only this certification must be submitted to the state driver licensing agency.

    Option 2 would be classified as "Excepted Interstate" (designated "EI"). That does NOT apply to you or your situation.
    If you look up each of the 4 bolded FMCSA regs above, you'll see they deal with farm vehicles, transporting migratory workers, govt vehicles, etc, etc, all of which don't apply to you.

    As baha said, tho, you need to submit your medical forms and also get that "Intrastate" corrected from Kansas.
    Bottom line, you need to submit all your med application/approval as Option 1 (Non-Excepted Interstate), same as designation "NI".

    Sorry to hear about your brother. The 1st thing he will want to do is go here. Next, he'll want to print this. He must follow every instruction in the packet. It generally takes 180 days from start to finish; however expect longer. There will be delays due to incomplete information from the Drs. I started about Feb or March of last year and I got my approval in late December.

    It's a lot of work, but worth it, imo. Good luck!
