A DOT physical is a detailed health check mandated by the Department of Transportation for all commercial drivers. This examination confirms that they are physically, mentally, and emotionally equipped for safe operation of large trucks and buses. A certified medical examiner from the NRCME conducts the examination. Successfully passing grants a DOT medical certificate, essential for retaining a CDL under FMCSA rules. For guidance on specific DOT physical requirements, 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.
