A DOT physical is a thorough health assessment mandated by the Department of Transportation for all commercial vehicle operators. This evaluation confirms that drivers are fit in all aspects to safely handle large trucks on public highways. Certified medical professionals on the National Registry conduct the exam. Success results in a DOT medical certificate, crucial for maintaining a valid CDL as per FMCSA. Need more details? Call 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.
