Starting in 2014, not sure of exact date, you can no longer go to your family doctor for a CDL physical. They must be certified by the FMCSA in order to do the physicals and most family doctors will not go to the hassle or the expense in order to become certified. One other word of caution, when you register your physical with your state in order to attach it to your CDL, DO NOT FAX, EMAIL, USPS, the physical!! Physically take it to your local Licensing Bureau and stand there while they record it and give you a receipt. There are many horror stories all over the nation of drivers being stopped in another state and being informed that their CDL is not valid because of the physical requirement. In extreme cases, these drivers have had their loaded trucks impounded, and have been forced to fly home, register their physicals, and then fly back to resume their route. By law, you have 15 days from the expiration of your physical to get the new physical and get it registered with the state. I have been in the trucking business over 45 years and own my own business with my own operating authority. All the increased regulation makes retirement look better all the time. When they make electronic logs mandatory, I have a Peterbilt and Reefer that will be for sale.
