DOT Physicals Q & A
What Is a DOT Physical?
A DOT physical is a medical exam required by the FMCSA for anyone operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). The goal is to ensure you’re healthy enough to safely perform the demanding tasks of a commercial driver—such as long hours, heavy lifting, and operating large vehicles.
If you need a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) or drive vehicles over 10,000 pounds, transport hazardous materials, or carry more than 8–15 passengers, this exam is required by law.
What’s Included in a DOT Exam at Mod-Doc?
DOT physicals at Mod-Doc are performed by FMCSA-certified medical examiners, and typically take about 30 minutes. During your exam, we will assess:
- Vision and hearing
- Blood pressure and heart rate
- Urinalysis (checks for glucose, protein, blood)
- Physical exam (neurological, musculoskeletal, respiratory, and more)
- Medication review
- Medical history (including chronic conditions and past surgeries)
If you meet the requirements, we’ll issue your Medical Examiner’s Certificate (DOT Medical Card)—often on the same day.
What to Bring to Your DOT Exam
To streamline your visit, please bring the following:
- A valid driver’s license or ID
- Glasses or contacts (if required for vision)
- Hearing aids (if needed)
- A list of current medications
- Any required medical records for chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea)
If you use a CPAP machine, have had recent surgeries, or manage a chronic health condition, please bring documentation from your treating provider.
How Long Is a DOT Card Valid?
Most DOT medical cards are valid for 2 years, but some may be issued for a shorter period if you have certain health conditions (like high blood pressure or diabetes) that require regular monitoring.
Our providers will always discuss any findings with you and provide guidance on maintaining compliance going forward.
