Excepted Intrastate To Avoid Renewing DOT Medical Card Washington State
Topic 29608 | Page 1
I was in the same situation, but I live in Maine so I don't know how your state might be different. But they have a form you have to fill out to "self certify" and I filled one out choosing "excepted intrastate", otherwise they would have downgraded my license. Then when I got another card I submitted another form. Some companies want you to have a card already, and some will get you a physical even if you already have a card.
Intrastate:
The act of purchasers and sellers transacting business while keeping all transactions in a single state, without crossing state lines to do so.
BMI:
Body mass index (BMI)
BMI is a formula that uses weight and height to estimate body fat. For most people, BMI provides a reasonable estimate of body fat. The BMI's biggest weakness is that it doesn't consider individual factors such as bone or muscle mass. BMI may:
- Underestimate body fat for older adults or other people with low muscle mass
- Overestimate body fat for people who are very muscular and physically fit
It's quite common, especially for men, to fall into the "overweight" category if you happen to be stronger than average. If you're pretty strong but in good shape then pay no attention.
OOS:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
Check with your state's DMV. I would keep it.

Sorry if this question has already been asked, but i dont know how to navigate this site to find it. I was let go from my last company a month ago and my medical card is expiring at the end of the year. I want to try another job that doesnt require a CDL for a little while. I really dont want to spend money to get my card renewed. I was wondering if I can avoid doing that if i went to the DMV and certify that I will be an excepted intrastate driver. Is this the right path to not having to maintain a Medical card? Will i be able to change back to interstate when i decide to do commercial driving again? Do most companies want you to maintain it or will they pay for a new one most of the time? I have like 1 year Class A and 5 Class B if that info helps.
