DOT Physicals

Are you paid to drive a truck or bus?  Get your DOT Physical close to home.

The Department of Transportation requires individuals seeking to obtain or maintain a commercial driver’s license to undergo a physical exam.   The physical must be provided by a licensed medical professional listed on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) National Registry.

Your physical may include:

• Check your blood pressure, as well as your pulse
• Perform a vision test, since drivers are required to have at least 20/40 acuity in each eye
• Examine your ears
• Check for spine deformities
• Look at your mouth and throat for problems breathing or swallowing
• Perform a neurological exam to make sure your coordination and reflexes are not impaired
• Listen to your heart and lungs for murmurs and impaired respiratory functions
• Press on your abdomen to check for abnormalities
• Perform a hernia check
