Thurston, GA DOT Physical - What You Need to Know

A DOT physical examination, mandated by the Department of Transportation, is essential for all commercial motor vehicle drivers. This thorough checkup confirms that drivers are capable of operating large vehicles safely on public roads, both physically and mentally. Conducted by certified medical professionals listed in the National Registry, successfully passing this exam grants drivers the DOT medical certificate. This certificate is necessary for keeping a valid CDL license according to FMCSA standards. If you're governed by a different DOT authority and need guidance on which DOT physical applies to you, dial 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:
