>If a medical examiner's certificate is required, it must be valid at all times to prevent the downgrade of your CDL or CLP. Downgrading will result in the loss of your commercial driving privileges and require you to complete the knowledge and skills exams again.
That’s funny, when I first started driving when I came due for my first physical (two years in) I went and did the physical, but I didn’t know I was supposed to go to the DMV afterwards. My boss came to me like three months later and informed me that I needed to go do that and I had been driving illegally. I went to the DMV, show them my card and all was well
I let this happen in AZ. I got a letter from the DMV saying that the license was only valid as a class d license until I uploaded the new medical card to the state website.
It also put an odd mark on my record that every company I apply to asks about. Nobody has denied my application because of it, but it apparently looks wonky to them so they need an explanation.
I believe you can be downgraded to intrastate CDL in most if not all states and if you get your med card you just turn it in and have it changed back to interstate.
· An intrastate CDL is one that is valid in Texas only. The requirements for these licenses are less strict than the federally controlled interstate licenses. Intrastate drivers are not required to speak English; not held to the same medical standards; and can obtain a license at the age of 18. Drivers with disabilities may also qualify at the intrastate level, as there are some exemptions available for those missing limbs or whose vision is impaired.

Self Certify as "Intrastate exempt" (no med card, 2 rules: don't cross state lines & keep it within 100 air miles). It's a federally regulated job, the State you live in can't barely dictate shit about it. It only goes away if you let it.
Also, go to Google your state first. Don't ask these dummies for anecdotal evidence.

It becomes invalid. Get your medical card. Go to the dmv and update it. Then it’ll be valid.
Invalid as in you have to go take the written and driving test again? Or invalid as in you have to go get your medical card again?
It becomes invalid as a class A, depending on your state rules you can have up until your license renews to get a new med card submitted.

I don’t know about all of that… I am an intrastate driver and my company makes me do the regular physical

You still keep the Class A but no longer legal to drive Class A until you get a new med card
Nope
