AI Overview

Overview of DOT Physical Examinations

A Department of Transportation (DOT) physical examination is a health assessment mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. This examination ensures that each driver is capable and healthy enough to safely perform the demanding duties associated with operating a commercial vehicle. The primary goal is to enhance road safety by preventing accidents caused by physical health issues.

Who Needs a DOT Physical?

  • Commercial Drivers: All commercial drivers who operate vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating over 10,000 pounds must undergo this physical examination.
  • Interstate Bus Drivers: Drivers who operate vehicles that carry more than 15 passengers, including the driver, interstate.
  • Hazardous Material Transporters: Those who transport hazardous materials that require safety permits due to the quantity.

Components of a DOT Physical

The DOT physical covers various health checks to assess a driver’s physical and mental capabilities:

  1. Vision Test: Drivers must have at least 20/40 acuity in each eye with or without correction and a horizontal visual field of at least 70 degrees in the horizontal meridian in each eye.
  2. Hearing Test: Drivers must be able to hear a forced whisper from a distance of at least five feet with or without a hearing aid.
  3. Blood Pressure/Pulse Rate: Assesses cardiovascular health and the potential for hypertension.
  4. Urinalysis: Screens for underlying medical conditions like diabetes and kidney disorders.
  5. Physical Examination: Involves the examination of multiple systems in the body including neurological, musculoskeletal, respiratory, and psychiatric systems to ensure no impairment that could hinder driving ability.

Validity and Certification

Once a driver passes the DOT physical, they receive a DOT medical certificate which is typically valid for up to two years. However, if a condition is found that requires monitoring (such as hypertension), the medical certificate may be issued for a shorter period.

Preparing for a DOT Physical

Drivers should prepare for their DOT physical by:

  • Gathering Health Information: Bring a list of current medications and information on any diagnosed conditions.
  • Wearing Proper Attire: Wear loose clothing for the physical exam, and bring any necessary corrective lenses or hearing aids.
  • Staying Informed: Be aware of how certain medical conditions might affect the ability to pass the physical.

Local Area Info: Brooklyn, Illinois

Brooklyn (popularly known as Lovejoy), is a village in St. Clair County, Illinois, United States. Located two miles north of East St. Louis, Illinois and three miles northeast of downtown St. Louis, Missouri, it is the oldest town incorporated by African Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Its motto is "Founded by Chance, Sustained by Courage." The mayor is Mayor Vera Banks-Glasper.

A missionary AME Church was established in the new settlement in 1836. Now known as Quinn's Chapel AME, its congregation is believed to have supported the Underground Railroad and aided fugitive slaves to freedom, together with members of the Antioch Baptist Church established in 1838.

According to oral history tradition, by 1829 "Mother" Priscilla Baltimore led a group of eleven families, composed of both fugitive and free African Americans, to flee slavery in St. Louis, Missouri. They crossed the Mississippi River to the free state of Illinois, where they established a freedom village in the American Bottoms. "Mother" Baltimore was said to have purchased her freedom as an adult from her master. She also bought the freedom of members of her family. Born in Kentucky, she tracked her white father to Missouri and bought her mother's freedom from him. The earliest black families included Anderson, Sullivan, Singleton, Wilson, Cox, Wyatt, and Carper.
