Picture of a commercial motor vehicle driver looking out the window of his truck.Erlanger ExpressCare proudly offers Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals at our urgent care center in Cleveland, Tennessee. These examinations—which the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers to undergo every two years—are intended to ensure that the drivers are physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy enough to maintain a commercial driver’s license (CDL).

During your DOT physical, you can expect one of our certified medical examiners (CMEs) to speak with you about your medical history, check your vitals, and assess your:

  • Eyes
  • Ears
  • Mouth
  • Throat
  • Heart
  • Lungs
  • Spine
  • Nervous system
  • Extremities
  • General appearance

If you pass the exam, we’ll report your results to the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME) and provide you with a copy of your DOT medical card.
