No, I went to a private driving school. Errol may be correct though. Mine is due and safety sent me a message saying that I could come by and pick up a voucher for one of their approved clinics.
As a side note, I finally made it home. Three weeks from PA to CA. LOL!
Oh while I was up in NY the Walmart DC in Johnstown NY I think it was tried to recruit me. "They love me...they really love me..." LOL!

Good that the "Love You" ! LOL I just got off the phone with a Walk in clinic near me, it will cost me $80.00 to get it done to be safe, like G-Town said if I don't then it could invalidate my CDL License. Have you driven the semi truck in NYC or outskirts? I hear a lot of drivers do not like to go to NYC ? Three weeks out, wow a long trip!

No, I was out for 48 days and gave them 2 weeks notice to get me home. It took them 3 weeks to get me home for a total of 69 days out. I'm at my delivery now waiting to be unloaded and I'm about 40 miles from the terminal here in Jurupa Valley CA.

Considering your circumstance, I'd start applying like crazy, an invalid medical card basically invalidates your CDL if enough time passes. As you apply, and they begin to reply back to you, find out what they require.
