A DOT physical is an in-depth health evaluation mandated by the Department of Transportation for all drivers of commercial motor vehicles. This examination certifies that drivers are equipped physically, mentally, and emotionally to handle large vehicles on public streets safely. A medical examiner, verified by the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners, conducts this test. Successful completion allows drivers to obtain a DOT medical certificate, necessary for keeping a valid CDL license in compliance with FMCSA regulations.
If regulated by another DOT body and need help recognizing the necessary physical, dial 800-221-4291 for assistance.
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.
