Colchester, CT DOT Physical - What You Need to Know

A DOT physical is an in-depth medical evaluation mandated by the Department of Transportation (DOT) for individuals driving commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). This examination ensures that these drivers have the requisite physical, mental, and emotional capabilities to operate large vehicles safely on public thoroughfares. A certified medical examiner (CME) registered with the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME) conducts the DOT physical. Successfully passing results in a DOT medical certificate (Medical Examiner's Certificate, also known as a DOT medical card), essential for holding a valid CDL license per FMCSA rules. If governed by another DOT agency and need help determining the necessary DOT physical, reach out to 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:

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.
