Kenna, NM DOT Physical - What You Need to Know

A DOT physical is a detailed health evaluation mandated by the Department of Transportation for all commercial vehicle operators. This examination verifies that drivers are healthy enough, both physically and mentally, to operate large vehicles safely on public pathways. A certified medical examiner listed on the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners conducts the DOT physical. Passing it enables drivers to obtain a DOT medical card, essential for maintaining a valid CDL under FMCSA guidelines. If uncertain about which DOT physical applies due to regulation by another DOT entity, 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:
