Arco, ID DOT Physical - What You Need to Know

A DOT physical exam is an in-depth health evaluation mandated by the Department of Transportation for all commercial motor vehicle operators. This test ascertains the physical, mental, and emotional wellness required for safe operation of large vehicles on roads open to the public. Only certified medical examiners listed on the National Registry administer the DOT physical. Successful completion awards a DOT medical certificate, necessary for maintaining a valid CDL per FMCSA rules. For guidance on which DOT physical applies, particularly if you're in another DOT-regulated sector, give us a call at 800-221-4291.
