The DOT physical is an in-depth health screening mandated by the U.S. Department of Transportation for drivers of commercial motor vehicles. This test is essential to ensure that drivers are fit physically, mentally, and emotionally to handle large vehicles safely on the highways. A certified medical examiner (CME) from the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME) conducts the assessment. Successfully passing the exam results in obtaining a DOT medical certificate, also known as a Medical Examiners Certificate or DOT medical card, necessary for keeping a CDL license valid under FMCSA rules. If you are subject to other DOT regulations and need help understanding the specific exam required, you can 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.
