Arlington, IA DOT Physical - What You Need to Know

A DOT physical examination is an all-encompassing health check mandated by the Department of Transportation for every commercial motor vehicle driver. This exam ensures that drivers are in sound physical, mental, and emotional health to safely manage large vehicles on roads. A certified medical examiner from the National Registry conducts the test. Success leads to obtaining a DOT medical certificate, which is essential for keeping a valid CDL under FMCSA rules. If regulated by another DOT body and need guidance on the required DOT physical, please reach out to us at 800-221-4291.

During your exam, the medical examiner will complete a thorough health assessment to determine if you meet the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) medical standards. The process typically includes:

Customer Reviews

Saved My CDL!

Time was running out before my Cdl got downgraded because of a violation I had on clearinghouse. I couldn't find an employer to send me for my return to duty test, but these guys had my test scheduled and done in the same day! They saved my cdl. Thank you again!
