A DOT physical is an all-encompassing health evaluation mandated by the Department of Transportation for commercial motor vehicle operators. This assessment guarantees drivers are fit on physical, mental, and emotional levels to safely handle large vehicles on public roadways. A certified medical examiner from the National Registry performs the exam. Successful completion awards a DOT medical certificate, necessary for a valid CDL per FMCSA rules. Questions?

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.
