DOT Physicals

A Department of Transportation (DOT) physical exam is a crucial assessment for commercial drivers and other safety-sensitive employees, following strict guidelines set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These regulations ensure that drivers are in optimal health to operate vehicles safely and maintain public safety on the roads.

Before your DOT physical, remember to bring any necessary eyewear (glasses or contacts) and hearing aids to the exam.

Your DOT physical will include the following essential health checks:

• Vision: Assessing your ability to see clearly and safely.
• Hearing: Ensuring you can hear important sounds for safe driving.
• Blood Pressure and Heart Rate: Checking for any cardiovascular issues that could affect your ability to drive safely.
• Urinalysis: Testing for signs of underlying health conditions.
• Physical Exam: A comprehensive check to assess your overall health and fitness for duty.

Ensure you meet the requirements for a clean bill of health by preparing for and passing your DOT physical.
