Required Health Evaluations for Commercial Drivers
What is a DOT Physical?
A DOT (Department of Transportation) physical is a medical exam required for commercial drivers to ensure they’re fit to safely operate a commercial vehicle. It’s mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and is necessary for obtaining or renewing a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). The goal is to identify any health issues that could affect a driver’s ability to safely perform their job. This is critical to protect both the driver and the public.
If the driver meets FMCSA health standards, their CDL is valid for up to 24 months. In some cases when it is desirable to monitor a condition, such as high blood pressure, they may receive a Medical Examiner’s Certificate, also known as a DOT card, valid for up to 24 months.

What To Expect During Your DOT Physical
Our initial or renewal DOT physicals are designed to be efficient, stress-free, and easy for you to get in and get out. We recommend printing the forms available on our website and completing them ahead of time to expedite the process. Don’t have a printer? No problem! Show up 15 minutes prior to your appointment to complete the required paperwork. If you have preexisting conditions, please remember that further documentation may be needed for clearance. If you meet FMCSA requirements, you’ll receive your DOT medical certificate, also known as your DOT card, at the completion of your exam.
