What really amazes me is that this was announced over 2 years ago. There was a 2 year grace period. We still have guys acting all surprised about the "new" rules that are 2 plus years old!!!!
I bet this has been on this forum at least 5-6 times.
The real simple thing to do is to just get a PHYSICAL!!!! Cost me $50. Then send/fax a copy of this to the State DOT. Your DONE. You can drive anywhere. It is not Rocket science!!!!
I see all of you guys trying to claim this and that exception just to save maybe $20-30 a year. That is SILLY!!!!!
I wish they would just require EVERYONE to get a medical card. Then there would not be any confusion. If you are not in good enough health to get one I really do not want to met you on the road driving a rig weighting 80,000 pounds anyway.
I also disagree with the FARM exception. I see guys that can barely walk driving a loaded semi to town weighting 96,000 LBS here at harvest time. The guys that are too darn old to run a tractor or combine are hauling grain. Great!!! They really are safe!!!! Maybe after a few bad wrecks and few dead people they will straighten that out.
I have a couple of other certifications I have to keep up. I can tell you they cost a heck of a lot more than what a CDL does to keep in force.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
