What Is a DOT Physical Exam?
The FMCSA requires a basic physical be performed by a certified medical examiner to help insure both driver health and public safety on our roads. The exam consists of a health history, brief physical, urinalysis, vision, and hearing checks, and can usually be completed in about 30 minutes. There are minimum health thresholds that must be met in order to qualify. Once passed, a driver is registered with the FMCSA database.
