    Yes, the permit is something like 90 days and then you have to start all over.

    Most likely you will have to redo the permit testing. Now that your medical is tied to your license you will most likely have to get your physical done by an FMCSA approved Dr./clinic before you can take the permit tests.

    Keep in mind that you will most likely have to take your medical card & or long form to the DMV with you to test, and after each time you renew your physical.

    You're getting robbed! In California a permit is good for 6 months.

    Not saying this applies to you but if a guy needs a permit for 2 years he needs to find another line of work.
