What is a DOT physical?
A DOT physical (also called a DOT medical exam or CDL physical) is a health exam required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration for anyone who operates a commercial motor vehicle. Its purpose is simple: to confirm you are medically fit to drive safely. When you pass, you receive a Medical Examiner's Certificate — your "DOT medical card" — that keeps your commercial driving status current.

What we check at your exam
Your DOT physical follows the standard FMCSA exam, which includes:
| Area | What is reviewed |
|---|---|
| Vision & hearing | Meeting the DOT standards for safe driving |
| Blood pressure & pulse | Screening for hypertension and heart concerns |
| Urinalysis | A basic screen (not a drug test) for underlying issues |
| Health history | Medications, conditions, and a physical exam |
If a condition like high blood pressure or diabetes needs attention, our clinic can help you manage it through primary care so you stay road-ready long term.
