    I had a one year medical card in tn. Now I have moved to pa and have a pa cdl. Is my med card still good in pa? I got it in February this year in Tn. I have an email into pa dot, but won't hear back from them for a few days.

    Yes Medical card goes with you and isn't state specific. Just remember to have it tied to your CDL in PA.

    You need to go to the DMV or DMS how ever they call it in PA, if they pull your MVR from PA it wont show up as active, unless you already gave them the Long form, I had the same Problem when I moved to GA from CA(When Applying for a new Job) in that state

    I would recommend you give them a call to make sure it was processed correctly.

    Can't. Their line is always busy. I just get a busy signal, and no que to wait on them to answer. They do answer their emails in about 24 to 48 hours.
