DOT Physical

We make sure you’re fit and ready for your Department of Transportation physical exam.

What is a DOT Physical

A Department of Transportation (DOT) physical is a comprehensive medical examination required for commercial drivers to ensure they meet the physical and medical standards necessary for safely operating a commercial vehicle. This examination is mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and must be performed by a certified medical examiner.

Why Do You Need a DOT Physical

The DOT physical is designed to assess a driver’s ability to safely perform their job and maintain control of a commercial vehicle. The physical ensures that drivers do not have medical conditions that could impair their ability to drive safely, such as untreated heart conditions, uncontrolled diabetes, or sleep apnea. Successful completion of the exam results in the issuance of a Medical Examiner’s Certificate, which is required to obtain or renew a commercial driver’s license (CDL).

What to Expect During a DOT Physical

During your DOT physical, the following assessments will take place:

  • Medical History Review: The examiner will ask about your personal and family health history, including past medical conditions, medications, and any previous surgeries.
  • Physical Examination: A thorough physical check-up to assess overall health, including vision, hearing, blood pressure, and general fitness.
  • Urine Test: A urine test is conducted to check for underlying medical issues such as diabetes or kidney disease.
  • Blood Pressure Check: Blood pressure will be measured to ensure it is within the required limits for safe driving.
  • Vision and Hearing Tests: You will be checked for proper vision and hearing, as these are essential for safe driving.
  • Additional Testing: Depending on your health history, additional tests or evaluations may be required, such as an EKG for heart health or a sleep apnea screening.
