What Is A DOT Physical
Apr 24, 2023
A DOT/CDL physical examination is a medical exam required by the Department of Transportation (DOT) for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers.
The exam assesses a driver's physical, mental, and emotional fitness to operate a CMV safely.
Here is what we check during the exam:
- vision
- hearing
- blood pressure
- urine analysis (not a drug test)
- and overall health
- as well as review their medical history and medications.
The exam may also include a range of other tests and assessments, depending on the driver's specific health needs and the requirements of their state or employer.
