DOT physicals are thorough health check-ups mandated by the Department of Transportation for all commercial motor vehicle operators. These exams confirm that professional drivers are in a condition to safely drive large trucks on public highways. Certified medical examiners, listed on the National Registry, administer these evaluations. Passing grants drivers a DOT medical certificate, crucial for keeping a CDL license under FMCSA guidelines. If uncertain about the required DOT exam, 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.
