Colome, SD DOT Physical - What You Need to Know

A DOT physical is a thorough health assessment mandated by the Department of Transportation (DOT) for all commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operators. This examination verifies that drivers possess the physical, mental, and emotional capacity to safely maneuver large vehicles on public routes. Conducted by a certified medical examiner (CME) listed in the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME), passing the exam grants drivers a DOT medical certificate, essential for maintaining a valid CDL under FMCSA guidelines. For guidance on the specific DOT physical needed if overseen by a different DOT agency, 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:
