Dayton, NM DOT Physical - What You Need to Know

The DOT physical is an in-depth health screening mandated by the U.S. Department of Transportation for drivers of commercial motor vehicles. This test is essential to ensure that drivers are fit physically, mentally, and emotionally to handle large vehicles safely on the highways. A certified medical examiner (CME) from the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME) conducts the assessment. Successfully passing the exam results in obtaining a DOT medical certificate, also known as a Medical Examiners Certificate or DOT medical card, necessary for keeping a CDL license valid under FMCSA rules. If you are subject to other DOT regulations and need help understanding the specific exam required, you can contact 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:

What Will Fail a DOT Physical?

Medical Conditions That Can Fail a DOT Physical

  • Vision & Hearing: Failing to meet 20/40 vision in each eye (even with correction), unable to identify traffic signals' colors, or hearing loss not allowing recognition of a forced whisper at 5 feet can cause disqualification.
  • Blood Pressure & Cardiac Conditions: Unchecked hypertension (≥180/110 mmHg), past heart attack, stroke, uncontrolled angina, or a defibrillator without appropriate clearance are grounds for disqualification.
  • Diabetes: Out-of-control diabetes causing regular hypoglycemia or complications like neuropathy and impaired sight can hinder safe driving.
  • Sleep Apnea & Respiratory Issues: Untreated sleep apnea leading to daytime drowsiness or severe respiratory diseases impairing oxygenation could disqualify.
  • Neurological Disorders: Conditions such as epilepsy (unless exempted), abrupt consciousness losses, dizziness, or unmanageable tremors might disqualify.
  • Substance Misuse: Active illegal drug use, alcohol dependence, or prescription misuse affecting driving capability is disqualifying.
  • Mental & Cognitive Disorders: Severe, unmanaged psychiatric conditions (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar disorder with recent episodes) or cognitive deficits that impair judgment and reaction are disqualifying.

Issues resulting in temporary disqualification may be addressed by providing medical documentation, like managed blood pressure. Conversely, untreated seizure disorders or defibrillators often result in permanent disqualification under FMCSA guidelines.

Accredited has been wonderful to work with!

Accredited has been wonderful to work with! My court ordered tests are on a very strange schedule but every time I call, they are quick to schedule me and are always able to find a location that works for where I’m at and when! Thank you for making this rather undesirable situation less stressful and efficient.
