DOT medical card- - - -gotta have one to drive anything commercial over 25K pound gross weight.
17k in Ohio. Not sure about other states but PA is 26k
You got all kind of stuff confused.
CDL regs are anything over 26k.
A medical card is needed for commercial work.
Buddy got pinched driving a non CDL poop truck.
Still needed a med card.
OP if you don't know exactly what work you are going to do,
If you can't buy a solid truck, if you can't work on it,
If you have to come here for advice on trucking,
you will likely get an expensive lesson.
I've seen a lot of guys who bought trucks (newer and old)
who knew the business and could work on them,
lose their ass.
Was given some solid advice when I was thinking about buying a semi.
"You need $10k in cash, free to help you over whatever pops up"
I'll add my advice from watching others.
"Always, always, always pay the IRS first. Never, ever, hold back a quarterly
if money is short!)
If it don't work, if you lose your shirt, you can give a truck back.
You can file bankruptcy, but the one debt that will follow you to the grave,
with interest rates that make credit cards look like a freebie, is the IRS!
