If the vehicle doesn't require a CDL and the vehicle is registered in that state, no. If the vehicle requires a CDL, yes. Vehicles falling under exemptions such as the farm truck exemption or emergency vehicle exemption vary by state.
All states are transitioning to that system. If your state already has, it will need to be.
You must have a current DOT medical card to maintain an active CDL in EVERY state. That is a federal law.
No, you can't get a DOT medical card if you have a defibrillator.
Laws on this vary by state. Inquire with your state's DMV.
Usually, no, although that's something which could vary by state. You would need to contact your state's DMV 1: to see if they even have a chauffeur licence (not all states do) and 2: to see if a DOT medical card is required.
A medical card is required for the operation of commercial vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of more than 10,000 lbs. If your state requires registration of DOT medical cards, then you must do this if your job involves operating a vehicle for which a medical card must be carried by the driver, even if a CDL is not required.
You can't. A physical examination is required to get a DOT medical card, and that cannot be done online.
I'm not sure of any minimum age restrictions, but it's a bit pointless to get if you're under 18... you need a DOT medical card for any vehicle requiring a CDL, and for any CMV with a GVW of 10,001 - 26,000 lbs. operating across state lines. In PA, you can't do either at 16 or 17.You don't need a permit or a license to actually get a medical card.
Until they have all states certifying their drivers and getting medical card information into CDLIS, you should.
You need that in EVERY state.
Yes anytime your driving a vehicle that requires a health card you need to have your health card with you
Yes, depending on the state a driver may also need a DOT Physical Exam and carry the DOT Medical Examination Card with them. One may also need to upgrade their driver's license to a Class A or B.
