What Is a DOT Physical?

If you are applying for a DOT medical card for the first time, you may have some questions about the process of earning one. To get a DOT medical card, a commercial driver must have a physical exam performed by a certified medical examiner. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires these exams to be completed on a biennial basis to ensure commercial motor vehicle drivers are mentally, physically, and emotionally well enough to hold a commercial driver’s license (CDL).

When we complete your CDL physical, we will

  • Discuss your medical history
  • Record your vitals
  • Perform a thorough examination of your eyes, ears, mouth, throat, heart, lungs, spine, nervous system, extremities, and general appearance

If our CME determines that you pass your DOT exam, we will electronically report your results to the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME) and supply you with a copy of your DOT medical card.
