Section, AL DOT Physical - What You Need to Know

A DOT physical is an all-encompassing health assessment mandated by the Department of Transportation for every commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operator. This examination establishes that drivers are physically, mentally, and emotionally capable of maneuvering large vehicles safely on public highways. A certified medical examiner, listed on the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners, conducts the exam. Success in this exam awards the driver a DOT medical certificate, necessary to keep a valid CDL license as per FMCSA guidelines. If another DOT agency regulates you and you're unsure which DOT physical you require, call 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

phone support has been excellent

I have used ADT several times. Their phone support has been excellent, both when putting in the orders and when asking for help to interpret results.

Super helpful

Customer service was surprisingly super helpful and so nice. She was able to get me in at a local location right away the same day. She helped me figure out exactly what I needed. Very impressed.

I was so surprised with the quality of customer service I received today when I called Accredited Drug Testing. The representative was so clear and competent. She was able to reschedule an appointment at my preferred location. The representative whose name is Justice, was so polite and competent. She expedited the whole process. It was a relief to me.

Detricia was super helpful in making sure that the drug test is sent my worker for was the right one I needed for my company to be compliant with my customers drug test requirements.

Kevin Howell - 12/19/2024

This is by far the easiest

This is by far the easiest way to get my lab work ordered and paid for. The phone calls are short and to the point. They don’t try to push extra sales on you and when I walk in to the clinic I simply show my donor pass and with in a matter of minutes I’m done. I will continue to use ADT in the future.

Jason Jackson - 7/19/2025

Ronickia Moore - 11/19/2024

Riley Wilson - 2/18/2025

Super Easy to Schedule

Super easy to schedule and get what you need, weather for a job, personal, or court ordered! I believe I spoke with Justine who was helpful in answering all my questions and stayed on the phone with me until she was sure I was all set and got the emails I needed.
