Etter, TX DOT Physical - What You Need to Know

DOT Physical: A thorough checkup mandated by DOT for all drivers of commercial motor vehicles. This evaluation confirms that drivers possess the physical, mental, and emotional capability to handle large vehicles on public roads safely. A certified medical examiner from the NRCME conducts the exam. Upon clearing it, drivers obtain a DOT medical certificate, essential for maintaining a CDL license as per FMCSA norms. For assistance on specific DOT physical queries, contact us at 800-221-4291.
