DOT exams are federally mandated physical & mental exams required by the Department of Transportation under the FMCSA. The purpose of the DOT physical is to ensure that all commercial motor vehicle drivers are physically & mentally equipped to handle the demands associated with long hours and high-stress situations that can occur when operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV).
The DOT physical is a necessary exam for anyone applying for a job as a commercial motor vehicle or bus driver. Federal law mandates DOT physicals be retaken by CMV drivers every 3-24 months. The duration of certification will depend on the a) overall health of the driver b) possibility of DOT exam failure as a result of health conditions deemed to impede a driver’s ability to operate at peak performance.
The purpose of a DOT physical is to ensure that a driver is free of health conditions that may impede on their ability to safely operate a CMV. DOT physicals consist of a thorough physical assessment that evaluates a driver’s vision, hearing, blood pressure, and pulse rate. Drivers should also be prepared to answer questions about their medical history and to submit a urine sample for analysis. The urinalysis will help detect unknown medical conditions or irregularities that may require immediate attention.
When attending your DOT physical please be prepared to provide documentation if you have any of the following medical conditions:
- Diabetic condition - list of medications & name of prescribing doctor
- High blood pressure - list of medications & name of prescribing doctor
- Heart condition/cardiovascular disease - bring a copy of your most recent stress test.
- Sleep apnea - bring a copy of the results from your latest sleep test (if you have one available)
- Medications - that clearly lists any medications which have been prescribed or administered by doctors in the past 30 days.
- Contact details - come prepared with names & phone numbers for doctors overseeing any of the above medical conditions to ensure any missing information can be quickly obtained during your visit.
