Kent, OR DOT Physical - What You Need to Know

This examination ascertains the driver's ability to handle large vehicles safely on public highways, ensuring they are fit physically, mentally, and emotionally. Conducted by certified medical examiners listed on the National Registry, passing this exam grants drivers a DOT medical certificate, vital for a CDL under FMCSA rules. For DOT agency-specific exam needs, call us at 800-221-4291.
