What Are DOT Medical Exams?
A DOT medical exam is a federally mandated evaluation required for anyone operating a commercial motor vehicle. This exam confirms that a driver is physically, mentally, and emotionally fit to operate safely on the road. It involves checking vital signs, vision, hearing, and overall physical health. The exam also identifies medical conditions that could affect driving performance, ensuring the safety of the driver and the public. DOT exams are only valid when performed by a certified medical examiner listed in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) registry. At Nowobilska Medical Practice, our exams meet all FMCSA standards, and drivers leave with the necessary documentation for their commercial driver’s license (CDL).
