Question. I recently called my local DMV about getting my Class A reinstated. I let it lapse. They informed me I must get a medical pass from a doctor. My question is does anyone know or is there a specific type of doctor one must go to. The DMV specialist said the doctor would be able to give me forms and or log my results into the DMV database. This made me realize that this doctor must be authorized or connected to the trucking industry. I do not know of any doctors I could go to . Any suggestions. I live in Los Angeles, Ca. I just need to get to a doctor to get passed so I can get my license back. I'm ready to get back in the game.
