Preparing for a DOT physical in advance will ensure a successful and stress-free examination. Here are some considerations for your preparation process: - Gather documents - It’s important to bring your driver's license and all relevant medical records or medication lists. - Reflect on your medical history - Be ready to discuss any past surgeries, illnesses, or medical conditions, as well as your current medications. This will help the medical professional thoroughly assess your health. - Avoid stimulants - You should refrain from consuming caffeine or other stimulants before the DOT exam, as this may affect your blood pressure and heart rate and impact your results. - Dress comfortably - It’s best to wear loose-fitting clothing that allows for easy movement during the physical exam. - Stay hydrated - Drink plenty of water before the physical to keep your body and mind functioning optimally. - Relax and be honest - The medical examiner is there to ensure your safety.
