I do. As for whether you do or not, that depends on your situation. If you have a CDL, you need one. If you operate a commercial vehicle of 10,000 lbs. GVWR or greater - even without a CDL - you need one. For RVs, farm vehicles, and other types exempt from requiring a CDL by the federal government, that's a state level matter, and your state's DOT would be the ones to determine this.
You need that in EVERY state.

In Pennsylvania, a DOT medical card is generally required for commercial drivers operating vehicles that meet certain weight thresholds or are involved in interstate commerce. If you’re pulling a trailer with a combination weight that exceeds 10,001 pounds or if the trailer is for commercial purposes, you will likely need a DOT medical card. For personal use and lighter trailers, a medical card may not be necessary. It's best to check with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for specific requirements related to your situation.
