I drove over the road in 2007 for three months. Half of that three months was training and the other half was solo before I quit. I got a local job in 2009 as a garbage/recycle driver and have been working since. My bills are getting too high and I want to work as a truck driver again. As a city worker in Texas I was able to waive the yearly medical card requirement for my CDL.
What I am wondering is am I able to drive again a big rig if I just get a medical card or do I have to do something with my license to remove what's on the back of my card?
Here is what is on the back of my drivers license
CLASS: A-Comb veh w/ GVWR > 26,000 lbs provided towed veh > 10,001 lbs
REST: P - if CMV, government vehicles interstate
Government Vehicles Interstate

Your good OP. Go get a physical and pay your DMV a visit and get all the intrastate restrictions removed. Then come back and see if @Chinatown can help you find a company that will hire you!
rollitup1, Judge, brian991219 and 2 others Thank this. -
Too easy. Go get a physical. Print the DPS Self-Certification form, fill out your info, select "NON-EXEMPT INTERSTATE," then take it to the local DPS station to have it entered. They will charge you $11 for the replacement license without the restriction, but then you will be good to go. Walk out the door with a paper CDL again, and the new one will come to your mailbox shortly.
