Carson, NM DOT Physical - What You Need to Know

A DOT physical is a thorough health assessment mandated by the Department of Transportation for those driving commercial motor vehicles. This examination certifies that drivers are capable, both physically and mentally, for the operation of heavy vehicles on public highways. A certified medical examiner, listed on the National Registry, conducts this evaluation. Success in the examination grants drivers a DOT medical card, essential for a valid CDL per FMCSA rules. If other DOT agency regulations apply to you and you need help understanding which DOT exam is necessary, call 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:

I needed a quick drug test for visitation with my children. I called at 6am they answered and set me up with a place a couple miles from my house to go get the test done, that was on Wednesday, I had the results on Friday afternoon and was able to see my kids on Saturday. Thank you for the help!
