A thorough medical evaluation mandated by the Department of Transportation (DOT) for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operators is known as a DOT physical. This examination verifies that drivers are physically, mentally, and emotionally capable of safely handling large transports on public roads. Conducted by a certified medical examiner (CME) listed on the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME), passing ensures receipt of a DOT medical certificate, essential for a valid CDL under FMCSA guidelines.

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.
