(quoted from post at 22:17:50 12/29/21) Without a medical card one cannot drive even if they have CDL.
am one of those Excepted CDL holders and can only drive in my home state of Missouri. After a 47 year career and 4 and a half million miles on this butt I don't want to go anywhere anymore. I now pull an end dump for a neighbor 3 or 4 days a week.(quoted from post at 14:15:37 12/30/21) Only Non-excepted CDL holders need a medical card.
Excepted CDL holders do not need a medical card.
(quoted from post at 13:53:24 12/30/21) Here in N.H. the CDL privileges are suspended a few days after the medical card expires.To renew a license the state has to have a copy of your DOT physical on file.It is automaticly restored when the state receives proof of the physical,up to two years.If you don't get one on file in that time the CDL is gone,and you have to take the whole test to get it back.We do have the exception for anybody that works for a municipality,the state,fire dept.etc.When you go to renew your CDL if you don't have a current DOT card on file you just have to check that box saying you will only drive under those conditions.A friend that works for the state just got caught driving his dump truck with no medical card.He explained that he worked for the state and was exempt.He was told no,not in your own truck.You need to be driving that municipal vehicle to be exempt.They were nice,and just told him not to do it anymore.
ince the Emeryville is registered as an antique vehicle is is non-commercial. Several years ago I was stopped on I-55 on the way home from a show and since I was pulling my trailer the DOT officer asked if the pickup and side by side was mine. After looking at the truck and my CDL he let me go on my merry way. Have crossed many scales with it and have never been bothered. An officer at the Bloomsdale, Mo scales told me that I should cross the scales as he couldn't tell how I was plated from out on the road. You saw it at Sedalia several yrs ago(quoted from post at 18:51:58 12/30/21) BD Cowboy, do you need a CDL for your show truck? I thought you might be exempted if you were bob tailed. I looked today, I am due for my next physical in March. The sad thing is most of us grew up driving tractors,and pulling equipment that we would never let our grandkids on till they were at least ten years older than we were. That is how we learned to drive trucks, by backing farm wagons with a hand clutch JD cultivating beans and corn 4 rows at a time, without taking out the crops. Now we have a government(state,fed.local)telling us we aren't smart to decide if some 25 year old can parallel park a semi.
(quoted from post at 15:44:38 01/02/22) In Washington, if you don't have a current physical form, you can't renew your CDL. And the State Patrol, or DOT will check it at every opportunity.
(quoted from post at 16:44:03 01/02/22) I'm curious What defines Non-excepted CDL holders from Excepted CDL Holders when it comes to medical card?
I think you're only putting out half the information.
Thanks Keith
(quoted from post at 16:15:17 01/05/22) Looks like Missouri has pretty much the same wording as other states on the medical side, and I expect the same for most CDL info as they have to meet Federal regs. Whether one follows them properly, or not, is another story.

(quoted from post at 15:44:15 01/05/22) Sounds like there are no laws in Missouri. At least that pertain to certain people.
