as a DOT card, to DMV.
Exams must have been performed by a medical professional listed on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's National Registry
of Certified Medical Examiners (https://nationalregistry.fmcsa.dot.gov).
NOTE: If you operate in both Excepted commerce and Non-Excepted commerce, you must select Non-Excepted commerce to be
qualified to operate in both types of commerce.
Step 2:
Determine whether you currently operate or expect to operate a CMV in Interstate or Intrastate commerce.
Interstate commerce - You operate in Interstate commerce when you drive a CMV:
•
From one State to another State or a foreign country
•
Between two places within a State, but during part of the trip, the CMV crosses into another State or foreign country
•
Between two places within a State, but the cargo or passengers are part of a trip that began or will end in another State or foreign
country
Intrastate commerce - You operate in Intrastate commerce when you drive a CMV within a State and you do not meet any of the
descriptions above for Interstate commerce.
NOTE: If you operate in both Intrastate commerce and Interstate commerce, you must select Interstate commerce.
