Make sure you’re fit for the road with a quick, thorough exam.

Commercial motor vehicle operators keep our economy moving. A U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) physical is a federal requirement that confirms you are medically fit to safely handle the demands of commercial driving, including long hours behind the wheel.

What the DOT physical involves

The DOT physical is a thorough health check of your physical and mental fitness to drive commercially. It includes vision and hearing tests, a blood pressure check, a review of your medical history, and a physical exam to look for conditions that could affect safe driving.

Do I need a DOT physical?

If you plan to operate a commercial vehicle, the answer is likely yes. Texas may also require one depending on the type of commercial vehicle you drive.

After your exam

If you meet the health standards, you will receive a DOT medical certificate valid for up to 24 months. If anything comes up during the exam, our team will walk you through the next steps.
