What type of Class C licence, exactly? A basic drivers licence in California is known as a Non-Commercial licence, or Class C licence. HOWEVER, there is a Class C Commercial Drivers Licence, intended for vehicles under 26,000 lbs. GVWR which are placarded to haul hazardous materials, designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver), etc. If it requires the non-commercial licence, there's no requirement to possess a medical card. If it requires the Class C Commercial Drivers Licence, then, under federal law, you must always have a valid DOT medical card in your possession at all times when operating that vehicle.
