The DOT physical examination is a thorough health evaluation mandated by the Department of Transportation (DOT) for all commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. This examination makes sure that drivers are capable physically, mentally, and emotionally of handling large road vehicles. A certified medical examiner listed on the National Registry conducts the test. Successfully passing grants a DOT medical certificate essential for a CDL under FMCSA rules. For guidance on which specific DOT physical you need, 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.
