A DOT physical is an in-depth health check mandated by the Department of Transportation (DOT) for all commercial drivers. This assessment ensures that drivers are physically, mentally, and emotionally capable of managing large vehicles on public roads. A certified medical examiner (CME) listed on the NRCME conducts the exam. Passing results in obtaining a DOT medical card, essential for maintaining a valid CDL license under FMCSA regulations. Call us at 800-221-4291 if another DOT agency regulates you and you need guidance on the required exam.
Owner Operators- DOT requires all owner-operators to enroll in a consortium so they are included in a compliant random testing pool because they cannot randomly test themselves.
Small Employers-Some smaller companies may not have enough drivers or safety-sensitive employees to maintain their own statistically valid random pool. Therefore, by joining a consortium, they are combined with other companies to form a large pool that meets DOT testing requirements.
Large Employers-Larger fleets may manage their own random pool but often use a consortium/TPA to outsource the process, reduce administrative burden, and ensure strict compliance.
