DOT Physical

What is a DOT Physical and who needs one?

A DOT physical, also called a CDL physical, is a test of your general health, mental and emotional well being and is a requirement that is mandated by federal law for anyone planning to drive a commercial motor vehicle (CMV).

Who does it apply to?

All CMV Drivers must pass a DOT physical exam to ensure they are fully equipped to handle the physical demands of operating a commercial vehicle. This can include long driving hours, hectic and exhausting schedules, and high stress.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)—the organization that sets regulations for the trucking industry—requires drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) to receive physical exams regularly. The FMCSA only allows certified medical examiners (CMEs) to perform DOT physical exams
