21 to get DOT card in Texas?

I just went in to get my medical card and was told that I must be 21+. Maybe I missed something, but I was under the very strong impression that you have to have a DOT card to get a class A license, and you can get said license at 18. Is it not required for intrastate? Thanks.

 

Who told you that?
There's cdl-a jobs for people that are 18 yrs. old in every state.

 

Does Texas even require a medical to run intrastate?
Or for that matter any other state?
As I've never looked into it I can actually see it not being needed.

 

Where did you go for the Medical Card?

 

In Texas an intrastate only driver does not require a Federal medical certificate, rather they use an intrastate waiver. For more information read this guide book published by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
