Lakeland, FL DOT Physical - What You Need to Know

A certified medical examiner (CME) on the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME) conducts the test. A passing result earns a DOT Medical Certificate, required for holding a CDL under FMCSA rules. For inquiries about specific DOT exams, call 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:
