    None of us "need" a med card but the law requires it.

    YES, you do need a physical regardless... the confusion in this question is caused by IL not requiring you to link the Med certificate to your license, nor present it during exam.
    Code:
    https://nationalregistry.fmcsa.dot.gov/NRPublicUI/home.seam
    This is where you will find a list of certified physicians for DOT exam.
