    Ok mine expires in July. Couple questions....

    I only got a one year card instead,of two, what determines the lenght?

    How do I go about renewing it? Do I need to go back and do the physical again? Or is it just a formality/paperwork?

    I'm in GA btw.

    TIA.

    Doc determines the length.

    You'll need to go through a full physical exam again. We all do.

    Typically if you have borderline high BP, they'll only give you a year card. They want to bring you back in after a year to ensure your BP hasn't worsened. I pay for my own. I go to a occupational medical clinic. They're usually better then a company deal. Never have to do any physical crap. I just go in, give them my money and they hook me up to the BP monitor. Write down the number and give me my two year card. Of course I am 190 Pounds of twisted steel and sex appeal.

    I got one of those too except she looked mid 20s. Poor thing. It was clearly awkward for her. Not me though. I was hanging like a champion.

    Make sure your Dr is on the Approved FMCSA medical examiner's list and they use the NEW medical forms.
