I live in PA and I just called the DMV to see how much I need to pay to take the computer knowledge test for my permit. Guy says I need to provide a medical card when I go to take the computer test? That don't sound right to me. I said I'm going to a company sponsored CDL school they do a physical there but the company wants people to have a permit before they arrive.
Anyone from PA that can chime in here? The actual DMV is closed today it was a call center that answered I waited on hold for 20 mins. I think he's wrong.
You need a medical card first, to get your permit in PA?

Don't need medical certification to take a written test at ANY DMV....the Medical Certification is for DRIVING. Tell the guy he's a nit-wit.
Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
I'd just go in and take the test.
I've learned, especially lately. You ask people an earnest question. They are locked into destruction. They will speak what is in their heart, instead of the truth. Don't bother to ask. Just do it. -
That's what I was saying to him. I said I need a medical card to sit a computer? Lol
Then he said I need to pay to have manual restriction removed. I said I didn't even take the road test how can I have a restriction already when I haven't even done anything yet.Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
That was changed this year in Jersey and PA. One of our guys just went thru the same thing. Luckily for him we have an in house medical department that does all of our physicals and medical stuff
I can see how that would suck for someone that doesn't have that available to them though. It's another expense that's pretty much a waste since the majority of carriers will want you to get another physical at their dr -

Along these lines....
Usually I get a very nice letter from the Governor's office. Inviting me to get my DOT physical.
Bear in mind. I have had my company insist on the letter before giving me time off for the physical and paying for it.
This year I got a very nasty letter from the Governors office. I wrote back asking what this donkey dung was. Response was entirely offensive.
I can easily see why my Rep. to the US House is running for Governor this time. She's gonna win. I'm supporting her. -
I'll just find out tomorrow I'll drive the 20 miles just to ask then go back Thursday when I planned on taking the test because I need to study a bit more. The delicate flowers don't work today and have bankers hours. Wish I could get this done today.

I think it might have something to do with drug testing. Once you get your medical card you're name is now in the computer to be picked for random testing. That's how it is at my company anyway- either way, it's definitely different than it's been for many many years. -
