Does Ohio require a medical card to drive flatbed under 26000 with air breaks?
Yes, in the state of Ohio, a commercial driver's license (CDL) is required to operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV), which includes flatbed trucks with air brakes and a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more. To obtain a CDL in Ohio, you must be at least 18 years old and have a valid driver's license. You must also pass a written test, a vision test, a physical exam, and a driving skills test.
In addition, if you are under the age of 21, you must have a medical card that certifies that you are physically qualified to operate a CMV. The medical card must be issued by a licensed medical examiner and must be renewed every two years.
So, if you are under the age of 21 and want to drive a flatbed truck with air brakes in Ohio, you will need to obtain a CDL and a medical card.
