In New York State a K restriction means that the Commercial Driver can only operate his vehicle within NYS or in other words INTRA-State only. However, please remember that this does not mean that you do not need a Medical Examiner’s Certificate. NYS DOT follows Federal DOT guidelines and unless you operate only in exempted type of driving you will still need a DOT Medical Examiner’s Certificate (see dotmedicalexaminerblog.com for more information on types of driving). CDL drivers issued a K restriction because their original CDL was issued prior to 9/9/1999 or were not able to meet Federal guidelines will have to obtain an A3 restriction (Medical Certificate Exempt) restriction in addition to the K restriction. With those two restrictions together then the CDL driver will not be required to have a DOT Medical Examiner’s Certificate and can operate within NYS only. See the NYS DMV website for more information.
