DOT Exams
A DOT Exam (Department of Transportation Physical) is a specialized medical examination required for commercial vehicle drivers to ensure they meet the health and safety standards necessary to operate commercial motor vehicles.
What Does a DOT Exam Include?
In a primary care setting, a DOT exam typically consists of:
- Medical History Review: Discussion of your past and current health conditions, medications, and lifestyle factors.
- Physical Examination: A thorough check of your overall health, including:
- Vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, temperature, respiratory rate)
- Vision and hearing tests to ensure you meet safety standards
- Examination of the heart, lungs, abdomen, and neurological system
- Musculoskeletal assessment to check strength, flexibility, and mobility
- Laboratory Tests: Depending on guidelines or specific concerns, tests like urine drug screening or blood tests may be required.
- Review of Mental Health: Screening for issues like depression or substance abuse that could affect driving safety.
- Certification: If you meet all the criteria, you will receive a medical certificate that allows you to operate commercial vehicles for a set period (usually up to 2 years).
