DOT physicals are aimed at determining whether a driver is physically capable of safely operating a commercial vehicle in the U.S. DOT physical examinations are thorough and include a variety of checks and tests to ensure the driver's overall health. It begins by taking a detailed medical history, which includes current medications and any past or present medical conditions. Your physical examination includes the assessment of vision, hearing, cardiovascular health, and general physical condition. We also perform a neurological examination to evaluate coordination, balance, and reflexes, and a comprehensive musculoskeletal examination to assess mobility and range of motion. We test specific conditions including eyes, ears, heart, respiratory, neurological, urinary, and endocrine. We ensure drivers meet the specific requirements set by the DOT such as having a 20/40 acuity in each eye, ability to perceive a "forced whisper" at a distance of 5 feet or less, having no disqualifying heart, respiratory or neurological conditions, and passing a urinalysis test. In addition to the physical requirements, we verify that the drivers meet other requirements such as being at least 21 years old and having no convictions for DUI or other disqualifying driving offenses. Our certified medical examiners are highly skilled and experienced in performing DOT physicals. We are committed to providing a seamless examination process and we provide a DOT physical certificate documenting the results of the examination.
