It isnt all about having a CDL
You may not need one but still come under DOT
And yes your correct medical is a big issue
You need a medical card even if it isnt CDL
If you have diabetes and take the shot each day
you cant drive anything that is DOT
You need to have a log book or time sheets
You can only drive so many hours in a 7 day period
And you have to keep track of hours working no matter what you are doing...
more to come.....
