DOT physicals are thorough medical exams mandated by the Department of Transportation for commercial motor vehicle drivers. They ensure that drivers are fit physically, mentally, and emotionally to handle large vehicles on the roads. Certified medical examiners listed on the National Registry conduct these exams. Successful candidates earn a DOT medical certificate to keep a CDL license valid, as required by FMCSA. For help with DOT physical requirements, contact us at 800-221-4291.
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.
