Question One

*Question: What if I work for a city or state agency but also plow in the winter for a contractor in my town?

*Answer: In this case, you would need to have a medical certificate if you are operating a commercial vehicle over 10,000 lbs. Also, drivers transporting 15 or more passengers or carrying placarded hazardous materials, regardless of vehicle size, are required to carry a DOT medical certificate.

Question Two

*Question I'm not currently driving a CDL vehicle or employed as a CDL driver. Do I still need to self-certify?

*Answer: Yes, if you would like to keep your CDL, you must self-certify. Otherwise, you may choose to downgrade to a Class D license. Drivers cannot keep a CDL without self-certifying.

QuestionThree

*Question: What if I fail to provide the required information?

*Answer: Failure to self-certify and provide a copy of your medical certificate, if you require one, by January 30, 2014 will result in the downgrading of your commercial driver license (CDL).

If you are a Class A, B or C Learner's Permit holder your permit will be deleted upon self-certification expiration. You will be required to reapply for a Commercial Learner's Permit. All associated fees and testing requirements will apply.
