Newport, RI DOT Physical - What You Need to Know

A DOT physical is an all-encompassing health assessment mandated for every commercial motor vehicle operator by the Department of Transportation. This evaluation verifies that drivers are in the right physical, mental, and emotional condition to manage large vehicles safely on roads. Conducted by a certified medical examiner from the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners, a successful result grants a DOT medical certificate needed to keep a CDL valid under FMCSA rules. For assistance with other DOT agency regulations, 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:

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.

Madison Sanderford - 8/19/2024
