Need Help With Self Certifying

Using Arkansas, you are swearing to sign under Tier Two.

Tier two is excepted trucking. But for me the way the revenuer (yes we still use that word) told me is that Tier two is for purpose of hauling dead bodies in time of national emergency for example.

Using Arkansas's Affaidavits you will be likely excepted trucking, but section line J under Tier two might or might not be a barrier to you.

You cannot claim type 4 which will clear you completely for the work you describe because you travel the USA. Type 4 is strictly inside the state only. And only inside.

 

Vans up to 15 souls can be run without a CDL. If you are carrying more than 15 souls and getting towards the really big three axle motor coaches with 50 souls.. yea you need a CDL and P endorse ment. etc.

 

Ok, you are talking two vehicles then?

Unless you class 6 or class 7 tractor with crew cab to carry 4 souls and a trailer on a 5th wheel at something not reaching 80K gross.

Question is.. under Excepted InterState do you meet the requirements?

https://dmv.ny.gov/commercial-drivers/a3-restriction

I would say you still fall under Non-Excepted Interstate and require a Med Card.

Non-Excepted Interstate (NI)

Commercial driving operation is permitted across state lines, and you are required to meet the Federal medical requirements.

• you must be age 21 or older
• if you have a HAZMAT (H) or HAZMAT/Tank (X) endorsement, you may select this driving type
• you must not have a K (CDL Intrastate Only) or A3 (Med Cert Exempt) restriction on your driver license

Excepted Interstate (EI)

Commercial driving operation is permitted across state lines for excepted operation only and you are exempt from the Federal medical requirements.

• you must be age 18 or older (21 or older when noted for certain excepted operations)
• you must have an A3 (Med Cert Exempt) restriction on your driver license
• you must not have a K (CDL Intrastate Only) restriction on your driver license

<<>>

A3 Restriction

The description of the A3 restriction will change from "Municipal or School Operation Only" to "Med Cert Exempt." This encompasses all of the federal and state Excepted types of operation.

If you operate only in Excepted Interstate or Excepted Intrastate operations, you are not required to hold a USDOT Medical Examiner's Certificate. If you are Municipal or School operator, you will still be eligible for the A3 restriction because these are Excepted types of operation.

If you currently have an A3 restriction, you do not need to amend your license to change the description of the restriction. The "Municipal or School Operation Only" description is valid until you renew your license. When you renew, the restriction description will automatically be converted to "Med Cert Exempt."

The SUPER big question is are you allowed to leave the State with only a Permit? https://dmv.ny.gov/get-cdl
