In Kentucky, commercial drivers must possess a valid commercial driver's license (CDL) to operate trucks over 26,001 pounds. However, for vehicles under that weight, a CDL is not required, but drivers must still have a valid regular driver's license. A medical card is required for CDL holders to ensure they meet the necessary health standards, but it is not mandatory for those driving vehicles under the CDL weight threshold. Always check local regulations for the most current requirements.

Additionally, you won't be able to renew your CDL without a valid and current medical card.
