Physical Exam - Motor Carrier Physical exam and certificate required
A driver with a commercial driver's license not meeting the physical qualification requirements may qualify for a waiver from the Motor Vehicle Administration.
Grandfather Clause: There is a “grandfather clause” which applies to a driver who was qualified prior to October 1, 2003, who has a physical or mental condition which would otherwise cause the driver to be disqualified. Under the “grandfather clause” the driver will remain qualified until October 1, 2023, as long as the driver remains physically qualified and the driver's condition remains the same. Should the driver's condition change the “grandfather clause” would no longer apply.
