IL Permit and DOT Physical

I took my IL permit, general knowlage, air brakes, combination vehicle, double/tripple, tanker and hazmat in August of 2013. Did not have a medical card at the time, did not need it to take any of the tests. You do need your background check and finger prints done before you can take the hazmat test. This was all last year, can not guarantee that nothing has changed. call the secoratary of state office tomorrow.

 

As a resident of Illinois I can answer your question. You don't need your medical card/physical to get your permit and endorsements.

 

Good luck, if you can pass the online practice tests you should be OK.

 

well kinda in the same shoes as you also in illinois. im not sure where im going to be working yet but next friday i plan to get my permit. i already got my medical card. because i also didnt know if i needed one to get my permit. its a good idea to get a dot physical now while you're are still home. reason being you can have something to cause you to fail and cause you to be sent home from prime. luckily for me i went and had my own dot physical done only 75 bucks and im young and fit i thought i be in the clear with no problems, but little did i know i failed the vision test(i thought i had decent vision, i even passed vision test for my regular drivers license with no glasses the next day). had to see an eye doctor and get a prescription glasses and i passed my physical 3 weeks later. so its good to find out if you needed something to be corrected now vs while you're at a job
