Yeah me neither....in Texas at least, you can downgrade an interstate Class-A CDL to an intrastate Class-A CDL. It is called Category 4: Excepted Intrastate. You will keep most of the endorsements you have, but may lose hazmat if you have that one. I am actually 'grandfathered in' on the medical. I know it sounds odd... but it is true, that a 61 year old (me) can now actually drive a CMV bus or truck IN TEXAS for the next 5 years legally with NO medical exam. But absolutely true. Of course this license means I can drive any size or type of RV in Texas, and that ability extends to the other states. Edited August 25, 2019 by podwerkz Quote Nothing to see here.
