What is a DOT Physical?
A DOT physical is a federally required exam for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers to ensure they are physically, mentally, and emotionally fit to safely operate a commercial vehicle.
Our certified medical examiners follow all Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) guidelines to evaluate your health and issue your Medical Examiner’s Certificate (DOT card).

- Hearing test
- Blood pressure and pulse check
- Urinalysis (for kidney function, diabetes screening, etc.)
