    yeah, my relative had it tougher, and this was decades ago, so as i said, many advancements took place since then. i can only conjure up his problems, and his outcome some time later.

    he had to go out of state to get dialysis? as there were no places here that he could go to.

    he was always so darned tired.

    There's 3 or 4 good cdl schools near Tampa.
    Pinellas Technical College
    Another is a community college.
    Tampa Truck Driving School is ok.
    Those schools also have trucking companies that reimburse or pay up front the tuition costs.

    Stay away from Roadmaster; it's too expensive and they push Werner because Werner owns the school.

    You go to the dmv and tell them you want your cdl back but want to self certify your medical as "Excepted" can be Excepted Intrastate or Excepted Intersate, doesn't matter. You can keep your cdl and when you are ready to drive again, get a physical and get the form to the dmv to make it active again. And this is federal, it's not up to the state if they will do this.

    How do I determine which of the 4 categories of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operation I should self-certify to with my State Driver Licensing Agency (SDLA)?

    I haven't had a current physical in three years but I just renewed my CDL. No problem.

    Same deal. I quit driving for a while but kept my CDL. All I had to do was get a fresh physical and I was good to go.
