What is a DOT Physical?
DOT (Department of Transportation) physical exams are federally mandated for commercial vehicle drivers. The exam evaluates your physical and mental health to ensure you're fit to safely operate a commercial motor vehicle.
What the DOT Exam Includes:
- Vision and hearing screening
- Blood pressure and pulse rate check
- Urinalysis (for underlying medical conditions)
- Physical examination (neurological, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal systems)
- Medical history review and medication assessment
Upon passing, drivers receive a Medical Examiner's Certificate (DOT card) valid for up to 24 months, depending on health status.
