  • Transporting 16 or more passengers (including the driver)
  • Hauling hazardous materials that require placarding

Your DOT Exam — Step by Step

A DOT physical is straightforward and designed to confirm you’re medically fit to drive. Below is a simple three-step walkthrough so you’ll know exactly what to expect from scheduling to certification.

Book & Prepare

Call or book online and bring a valid photo ID, your current medical certificate (if renewing), a list of medications, and any relevant medical records. If you use glasses or a hearing aid, bring them so we can test vision and hearing accurately.

Medical Evaluation & On-Site Tests

During the visit a certified examiner will review your medical history and perform a focused physical: vision and hearing checks, blood pressure and pulse, and a brief neurological and musculoskeletal exam. A urine screen may be performed if required. The whole evaluation typically takes 30–45 minutes.

Certification & Next Steps

If you meet FMCSA standards, you’ll receive your Medical Examiner’s Certificate, often the same day. If follow-up care, additional testing, or medical management is needed, your examiner will explain the next steps and help you understand timelines for re-evaluation or documentation.
