    So basically $20 bucks for 20 years worth if I'm doing the math correctly

    Thats just for the cards. You’ll have to buy the 24 pack of long forms, if memory serves me, that was 14.99.

    Are you sick, in bed or coughing up your lungs??
    If not take a Zpac and press on.

    This thread kinda proves the point that people need to stop procrastinating getting their med cards. You can’t wait until the last day like you used to. Go a couple weeks to a month early & get it out of the way.

    My company makes us take the long form to a state licensing center to have them fax it in and give us a fax confirmation to assure it's in the system otherwise we are grounded until it is in the state database

    I kind of like to get my full 2 years worth.

    On another note. I've been extended.

    They had extended any card that expired after 9-30-20 till 2-28-21. They just extended it again, I think till 3-31-21. You may not have to do anything. However you can change your status online to interstate exempt, if needed to keep your CDL. Then when you get your new card Change it back, and upload the card to self certify. I did all that In January, not knowing of the extension.
