A Department of Transportation (DOT) exam is a medical evaluation required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association (FMSCA) to verify that one is healthy enough to safely drive a commercial motor vehicle (CMV).

A DOT medical card is required for any commercial driver who operates a vehicle with a gross weight of 10,000 pounds or more. This applies to all commercial driver's license (CDL) holders as well as non-CDL holders including crane operators, box truck drivers, commercial bus drivers, livery drivers, landscape outfits and many others.

As of 2013, all DOT physicals must be completed by a provider certified and listed on the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners. In most states, medical doctors, osteopath doctors, nurse practitioners, physician’s assistants, chiropractors and naturopaths are all eligible to become certified DOT medical examiners.

All drivers and operators must maintain a valid medical card, or they risk getting fined, pulled off the road or getting their license downgraded. To schedule you next DOT physical, find a location near you.
