Understanding DOT Physical Exams

A DOT physical is a health examination mandated by the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. A DOT physical helps determine if a deriver is physically, mentally, and emotionally fit to operate a CMV.
If you are a commercial driver, you are a "safety-sensitive" employee. And for your safety and the public's safety, FMCSA requires you to complete and pass a DOT physical to maintain a valid CDL.

During a DOT physical, we will check your vital signs, review your medical history, and perform a hands-on physical exam that includes (but is not limited to):

  • General Appearance

  • Eyes, Ears, Mouth and Throat

  • Heart, Lungs and Chest

  • Urinalysis

  • Extremities

  • Nervous System

  • Hernias, Back and Spint


If additional documentation is needed (such as for high blood pressure, sleep apnea, or diabetes), please bring it with you.

Fast & Convenient:

We understand that your time is valuable. That’s why we offer quick appointments, friendly service, and same-day paperwork completion whenever possible. Let us help you stay compliant without the hassle.
