Do you need a medical card for commercial vehicle that weighs less than 26000lbs?

In the United States, a medical card or a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) is not required for commercial vehicles weighing less than 26,001 lbs unless they are transporting hazardous materials. However, some states may have specific regulations and require a CDL for vehicles over a certain weight limit, even if they are not carrying hazardous materials.

As a general guideline, vehicles that require a CDL are usually those designed to transport more than 15 passengers or vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of more than 26,001 lbs. If the commercial vehicle you are operating weighs less than 26,001 lbs and is not transporting hazardous materials, you may not need a CDL, but it's always a good practice to check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or the Department of Transportation (DOT) to confirm the requirements in your specific jurisdiction.
