What Is a DOT Physical?
A DOT physical is a federally mandated health exam required for individuals in safety-sensitive roles such as truck drivers, school bus drivers, and other commercial motor vehicle operators to ensure they are medically fit to safely perform their duties.

Our Certified Medical Examiner (CME) performs all DOT exams in accordance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) guidelines. Upon successful completion, you’ll receive a valid Medical Examiner’s Certificate (DOT card), typically valid for up to 24 months.

What to Expect During Your DOT Physical:
During the physical, our examiner will assess:
 

• Blood pressure & pulse rate

 

• Vision & hearing

 

• General appearance

​

• Neurological function

 

• Urinalysis (for protein, blood, and sugar not a drug test)

 

• Respiratory, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal health

​

• Mental and emotional wellness

We also review your medical history, current medications, and any prior conditions that may affect your ability to operate a commercial vehicle safely.

Results: Most drivers receive their certificate the same day as their exam.

What Is a Non-DOT Physical?
Non-DOT physicals are similar in structure but not governed by federal regulations. These exams are ideal for:
 

• Private company employee health screenings

 

• Return-to-work clearances

 

• School or volunteer physicals

 

• Routine health evaluations

We customize each Non-DOT exam to fit the employer's or organization’s requirements while still maintaining medical integrity and professionalism.
