A DOT physical consists of a detailed health evaluation mandated by the Department of Transportation for all operators of commercial motor vehicles. This assessment confirms that drivers are adequately fit physically, mentally, and emotionally to manage substantial vehicles on roadways. Conducted by a certified medical examiner found on the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners, passing it grants a medical certificate necessary for retaining a valid CDL according to FMCSA rules. For guidance on which DOT physical might be needed if regulated by another DOT agency, call 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.
