What Is a DOT Physical?

A DOT (Department of Transportation) physical is required for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers to ensure they’re physically and mentally fit to operate safely. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires this exam for individuals holding a CDL (Commercial Driver’s License).

Dr. Jake Conway conducts every exam with care, precision, and full compliance with FMCSA standards. You’ll receive your Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MEC) the same day if you qualify, no waiting.

What to Bring to Your Appointment

To streamline your visit, please bring:

• A valid driver’s license or photo ID
• Your current DOT medical card (if renewing)
• Glasses, contact lenses, or hearing aids, if you use them
• A list of medications and medical history
• Blood pressure logs, CPAP compliance data, or specialist notes (if applicable)

What Happens During a DOT Exam?

Your DOT physical includes a thorough review of your health to ensure safe driving. Dr. Jake will check:

• Vision and hearing (with or without aids)
• Blood pressure and pulse rate
• Urinalysis (for conditions like diabetes, not a drug test)
• Full physical exam following FMCSA guidelines
• Discussion of any chronic health conditions (like sleep apnea, diabetes, or heart disease)
