DOT Medical Exams

We provide Department of Transportation (DOT) medical exams required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for anyone applying for or renewing a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). The DOT medical exam is to ensure that commercial drivers meet the required health standards for operating vehicles safely, and is designed to assess your overall health and fitness, vision, hearing, blood pressure, and medical history.

Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

1. Medical History Review: You’ll be asked about your medical history, including any chronic conditions, medications you’re taking, and past surgeries or health issues.

2. Physical Examination: The examiner will assess your general health, checking vital signs like blood pressure, pulse, and respiration. They'll also examine your vision, hearing, and basic motor functions.

3. Urinalysis: A urine sample will be collected to check for any potential issues like diabetes or kidney disease.

4. Additional Testing (If Necessary): Depending on your medical history and current health, further tests or evaluations may be recommended. This could include an EKG for heart conditions or a sleep apnea assessment.
