    hello everyone, I used to work for a small rock hauling company as a truck foreman, I lost my job several years ago and need to renew my DL, but I can't without a current DOT medical card..........I do not want to give up my CDL , but if I don't find a place that does DOT physicals in my area Citrus Co Florida, zip 34452 I will have to drop back to a class E ....

    I'm totally lost, I have searched the web and I don't have a regular DR. cause I don't have insurance

    if anyone has a link or name of a place with in about 40 miles of me, please let me know ASAP...thank you

    Go into the phone book and start calling around,some walk-in clinics do DOT phys.Also you can download a DOT medical card off the FMCSA web site for free if needed to.

    Question tho,why do you need a DOT medical card in order to keep your CDL???:biggrin_25511:

    When I got my CDL they never ask me if I had one,do they required it now in order to renew your CDL?

    Look for a CVS pharmacy with a "minute clinic", costs about $59

    Don't feel bad. Other than Walmart, I'm 50 miles from the big city.

    You start trucking, 30 miles seems like 2. :)
