If I get my DOT physical in Pennsylvania but I get my CDL permit in Virginia. Will get any pushback at the DMV. My Drivers Liscence is in VA but I'm in Pennsylvania for a few weeks I was gonna get a DOT physical there.

Physicians or medical practitioners that are qualified to perform DOT physicals are board certified on a national registry & will have their registry number affixed to said physical.
So to answer your question, yes...it's fine.

Yes but when you get a physical on the application it asks for your CDL number and I believe it's also written on the hard card.FLYMIKEXL Thanks this.

My last one was done in TN and I just took it to the SC dmv.
Dave_in_AZ and FLYMIKEXL Thank this. -
This has what to do with the price of tea in China?
-
You have to certify the physical in the state where the CDL is from.. You have to certify to have a CDL
-
This can't be true. I just graduated from CDL School (in Indiana) and there were Ohio, Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia & New York students that had their physicals done @ the school in Indiana.
-
I guess you couldn't understand what I said. When you get a DOT physical it asks for your drivers license(CDL) number. Then that number is written on your newly issued physical hard card. If you walk in with a CDL from state A but then transfer your CDL to state B the CDL number on your physical card won't match your new license.
-
Completely true.. When you get a CDL. you have to certify what type of driving you do and present a medical card to have matched or linked to the CDL. No med card, no CDL.
-
You are correct, that makes perfect sense.
However, the OP wasn't asking about transfering his CDL (which would through a wrench into things), but simply completing his physical in the state he's currently in & taking it back to his home state (where his current license is presumably issued).
