South Gull Lake, MI DOT Physical - What You Need to Know

DOT physicals are detailed medical check-ups mandated by the Department of Transportation for all commercial vehicle operators. These exams confirm that drivers are duly equipped physically, mentally, and emotionally to manage large vehicles on public highways. A certified medical examiner, listed on the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners, conducts the exam. A successful assessment provides drivers with the DOT medical certificate, essential for keeping a CDL under FMCSA rules. If you need help figuring out the needed DOT physical or fall under another DOT authority, 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:
