Shively, CA DOT Physical - What You Need to Know

A thorough medical evaluation mandated by the Department of Transportation (DOT) for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operators is known as a DOT physical. This examination verifies that drivers are physically, mentally, and emotionally capable of safely handling large transports on public roads. Conducted by a certified medical examiner (CME) listed on the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME), passing ensures receipt of a DOT medical certificate, essential for a valid CDL under FMCSA guidelines. For assistance with DOT agency-specific requirements, 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:

Accredited has been wonderful to work with!

Accredited has been wonderful to work with! My court ordered tests are on a very strange schedule but every time I call, they are quick to schedule me and are always able to find a location that works for where I’m at and when! Thank you for making this rather undesirable situation less stressful and efficient.
