Get NC CDL-5 2012-2022

K - If the State is notified by the FMCSA that a medical variance has been issued to the driver, the State must indicate the existence of such a medical variance on the CDLIS driving record and the CDL document using a restriction code "V" to indicate that there is information about the medical variance on the CDLIS ...

In New York State a K restriction means that the Commercial Driver can only operate his vehicle within NYS or in other words INTRA-State only. However, please remember that this does not mean that you do not need a Medical Examiner's Certificate.

The restriction C is applied to a learner's permit or driver's license when the driver indicates they are using a mechanical aid (special brakes, hand controls, spinner/steering knob or other adaptive devices) when driving.

When your CDL is about to expire, the DMV will mail you a reminder card. You do not have to bring the card with you to renew, but you should bring your current or expired license with you to any driver license office. If you don't have your current or expired license, you will have to show acceptable identification.

Additional written knowledge tests. Additional road skills tests. This includes testing in a vehicle meeting the requirements indicated by the restriction. Further medical evaluations. Payment of additional fees.

This has caused drivers of USCHI member companies to be cited during roadside inspections in a different State, as the ``K'' restriction means that the license is invalid outside the State of issuance, even when the younger driver is operating under the custom harvester exemption.

In order to keep your CDL, some states will allow a CDL holder to certify in a category that does not require a medical certificate e.g. Intrastate Excepted, if they are not currently driving. You will have to check with your State Drivers License Agency (DMV) to see if they permit this option.

A DOT physical exam includes a health history, vision and hearing test, and physical exam. A urine sample will also be taken to test for protein, glucose, specific gravity (urine to water ratio), and whether blood is present. The cost for the DOT physical exam is $75.
