DOT physicals

We’re proud to offer Department of Transportation (DOT) physical exams. DOT physicals meet new guidelines set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). 

DOT physicals include:

• Health history review
• Hearing and vision tests
• Urine test
• Blood pressure and pulse check
• Physical exam

If you pass your exam, the doctor will give you a copy of the medical certificate. A DOT physical is valid for up to 24 months. 

Why are DOT driver physicals needed?

Drivers of commercial vehicles have safety-sensitive jobs. This means their work can affect their safety and the public’s safety. To help make sure that drivers are healthy, a regular physical is required. A DOT physical meets strict FMCSA guidelines.

How to prepare for your exam: 

• Don't drink coffee or smoke 30 minutes prior.
• Bring:
  • Glasses, contacts or hearing aids
  • A medication list and contact information for the doctor who prescribed them
  • Medical exam report form 
  • Paperwork from any specialists you see
