Ambrose, ND DOT Physical - What You Need to Know

A DOT physical is an in-depth health evaluation mandated by the Department of Transportation for all drivers of commercial motor vehicles. This examination certifies that drivers are equipped physically, mentally, and emotionally to handle large vehicles on public streets safely. A medical examiner, verified by the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners, conducts this test. Successful completion allows drivers to obtain a DOT medical certificate, necessary for keeping a valid CDL license in compliance with FMCSA regulations.
