What Does a DOT Physical Include?
A DOT physical includes a health history review and a physical exam. The goal is to determine whether you meet medical requirements for commercial driving.
Health History Review
We review medications, surgeries, medical conditions, symptoms, and lifestyle habits.
Vision & Hearing Screening
We check vision and hearing to help confirm you can safely operate a vehicle.
Blood Pressure Check
We review blood pressure because high readings may affect certification length.
Physical Examination
The examiner checks general health factors related to safe commercial driving.
Urinalysis
A urine test may check health indicators such as blood sugar and kidney function.
What to Bring to Your DOT Physical
To help your visit go smoothly, bring any important medical information with you.
You may need:
- Valid driver’s license
- Current medical card, if renewing
- List of medications
- Glasses or contacts, if you wear them
- Hearing aids, if you use them
- Medical records for ongoing conditions
- Any forms required by your employer
What to Expect During Your Visit
How Long Is a DOT Medical Card Valid?
A DOT medical card may be valid for up to 24 months. Some drivers may receive a shorter certification period if a health condition needs closer monitoring, such as high blood pressure.
Once your certificate expires, you will need another DOT physical to maintain medical certification.
Health Conditions That May Affect Certification
Some medical conditions may require additional review or a shorter certification period. These may include high blood pressure, diabetes, heart conditions, vision or hearing concerns, and certain medications.
If you have an ongoing condition, bring any helpful medical records or documentation to your appointment

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a DOT physical if I have high blood pressure?
Yes, but your blood pressure reading may affect your certification length. If you take medication or have recent readings from your doctor, bring that information with you.
Do I need an appointment for a DOT physical?
Scheduling ahead is recommended so our team can prepare for your visit and help you complete your exam as efficiently as possible.
Can I still pass if I wear glasses or hearing aids?
Yes. If you use glasses, contacts, or hearing aids, bring them to your appointment so they can be used during the vision or hearing portion of the exam.
What happens if I do not meet the requirements?
If more information is needed, the examiner will explain the next steps. You may need additional documentation, treatment, or follow-up before certification.
