Yes. If your DOT expires, then the first thing which happens is your CDL is downgraded, and you can no longer operate a vehicle requiring a CDL. From that point, you have a certain time limit to a: get an 'exempt' self-declaration classification (which allows you to circumvent downgrading your CDL, but does not permit you to operate a CMV requiring a CDL) b: downgrade your CDL, or C; renew your DOT medical card and register it with your state's DMV or equivalent. If none of these are done within the alloted time period (typically, 30 days from notice being sent), then your license will be completely suspended until the situation is rectified.

To operate ANY vehicle which requires a CDL of ANY class in ALL states (this is federal law - it doesn't vary by state), the driver must have, along with the appropriate class of CDL (A, B, C), a DOT Medical Card. However, this is assuming you're were referring to a Class C CDL - several states issue a non-CDL Class C licence.
