Did you forget to give the sate a copy of your Med Card?
They, DMV , have it set up now so that if you do not have a new DOT card to them" by the date of your old one expiring," The next day your no longer CDL! 
I received a reminder in the mail 30 days before, last week, but I'm going to assume that it is only because of them putting this in place. So keep track of your date. Good Luck
