Hanging up the keys

You can maintain your CDL by just self-certifying you are using it in a manner that doesn't require you to get the medical exam.

 

Dogs and money, sign me up.

 

I agree. The government has their paws on just about everything nowadays. Way more then ever.

 

Wonder when the people that stand on the corner at Home Depot and Lowe’s will start to move into your market place ?

 

Years ago between jobs / careers before going into trucking I hustled flipping furniture, refinishing some, etc. Started out with a regular storage unit and my old Ford ranger pickup. Did $500 or so a week on profit. After I tested the waters for about a year I moved into a huge 4000 square-foot warehouse that within six months was packed wall-to-wall with furniture. Lol all on my own. All day wheeling and dealing. Mostly cash too. I had weeks that I made over $3000. Lived at the warehouse to keep overhead down, it had a bathroom and shower stall. It was fun, my own boss, hustling all day, but also hard work, lots of miles on my truck etc.
ultimately I got big enough to where the city caught wind of it and wanted to know where my permits and all this other nonsense was. I decided to just shut it down. Went into trucking right after that. But if I ever needed to survive and make a $, I know how.

 

That's Interesting!! What "manner" is acceptable? Intrastate Travel?

 

If one is "hanging up the keys" thenon my state's CDL self-certify form there are 1 or 2 options which, if checked, won't require you to keep an active medical card on file. On the form linked below Option 2 and Option 4 will not require you to keep updating your medical card. Or, if you prefer, just keep getting medical exams and self-certify with your new card. Here is Ohio's form UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE DRIVE COMMERCIALLY WITHOUT A CURRENT DOT MEDICAL.

 

Bro make that money. Eff the ones that hold you back.
