What is a DOT Physical?
A DOT Physical is a federally mandated medical exam required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for commercial drivers and safety-sensitive transportation workers. This physical confirms that drivers are medically qualified to safely operate a commercial vehicle.
Our medical staff follows all FMCSA guidelines to evaluate:
- Vision and hearing
- Blood pressure and pulse rate
- Medical history review
- Neurological function
- Musculoskeletal health
- Urinalysis (for conditions like diabetes or kidney disease)
Who Needs a DOT Physical?
A DOT Physical is required for individuals operating:
- Commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) over 10,000 lbs
- Vehicles carrying hazardous materials
- Vehicles transporting 9+ passengers for compensation or 15+ passengers not for compensation
- CDL drivers for interstate commerce
If your employee performs safety-sensitive duties, DOT physicals help ensure the health and safety of your workforce and the public.
