Tres Piedras, NM DOT Physical - What You Need to Know

A DOT physical is a thorough health examination mandated by the Department of Transportation for all drivers of commercial motor vehicles. This assessment ensures drivers possess the necessary physical, mental, and emotional capabilities to drive large vehicles safely on public roads. The exam is conducted by a certified medical examiner listed on the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners. Successful completion allows acquisition of a DOT medical certificate, essential for retaining a valid CDL under FMCSA rules.

What Will Fail a DOT Physical?

Medical Conditions That Can Fail a DOT Physical

  • Vision & Hearing: Failing to meet 20/40 vision in each eye (even with correction), unable to identify traffic signals' colors, or hearing loss not allowing recognition of a forced whisper at 5 feet can cause disqualification.
  • Blood Pressure & Cardiac Conditions: Unchecked hypertension (≥180/110 mmHg), past heart attack, stroke, uncontrolled angina, or a defibrillator without appropriate clearance are grounds for disqualification.
  • Diabetes: Out-of-control diabetes causing regular hypoglycemia or complications like neuropathy and impaired sight can hinder safe driving.
  • Sleep Apnea & Respiratory Issues: Untreated sleep apnea leading to daytime drowsiness or severe respiratory diseases impairing oxygenation could disqualify.
  • Neurological Disorders: Conditions such as epilepsy (unless exempted), abrupt consciousness losses, dizziness, or unmanageable tremors might disqualify.
  • Substance Misuse: Active illegal drug use, alcohol dependence, or prescription misuse affecting driving capability is disqualifying.
  • Mental & Cognitive Disorders: Severe, unmanaged psychiatric conditions (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar disorder with recent episodes) or cognitive deficits that impair judgment and reaction are disqualifying.

Issues resulting in temporary disqualification may be addressed by providing medical documentation, like managed blood pressure. Conversely, untreated seizure disorders or defibrillators often result in permanent disqualification under FMCSA guidelines.
