DOT Physicals
Certified Exams for Commercial Drivers
Stay Compliant With DOT Physicals
Meeting Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements is essential for commercial drivers, and this service helps ensure that you’re medically qualified to operate safely. DOT Physicals at Holtville Family Practice are comprehensive exams conducted by certified medical examiners in compliance with FMCSA standards. These evaluations are required for those operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) and involve a detailed review of your health history, current medications, vision, hearing, blood pressure, and overall physical condition. Designed to detect any health issues that may interfere with safe driving, DOT Physicals are not only a legal requirement but also a proactive step in maintaining your wellness on the job.
Protect Your License And Health
Unlike a routine checkup, a DOT Physical is specifically tailored to meet the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) regulations. The exam includes a health history review, a vision and hearing test, blood pressure measurement, urinalysis, and a thorough physical examination. Your provider will assess factors like cardiovascular health, neurological function, and respiratory status to determine if you’re fit for duty. If you pass, you'll receive a Medical Examiner’s Certificate (DOT Medical Card) valid for up to 24 months, unless a condition requires earlier monitoring. This exam ensures that you're medically able to handle the demands of commercial driving, helping to keep both you and others safe on the road.
DOT Physicals provide peace of mind and legal compliance for commercial drivers by ensuring they meet federal health standards for safe operation.
