DOT Physical | Verified Credentials

Ensure your drivers are ready for the road with a DOT Physical Examination. A licensed DOT medical provider completes the evaluation, reviewing each driver’s health and capability to handle the physical requirements of their role.

Results are valid for up to 24 months and recorded on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Medical Examiner's Certificate (MEC).

Exam evaluates:

Vision
Hearing
Blood pressure
Drug use
Overall physical fitness

Stay in the lane with commercial driving regulations.

Because large commercial vehicles have longer stopping distances, bigger blind spots, and less flexibility on the road, drivers need to meet specific physical requirements to operate them safely. Keep your drivers and others safe while meeting FMCSA's driver qualifications.

DOT vs. routine physicals

Although similar, DOT physicals have a few important differences compared to other physical exams:

DOT physicals must be performed by a licensed medical examiner who is listed on the FMCSA National Registry.
DOT exams are more in-depth, involving assessments specific to the requirements of driving a commercial vehicle – including reflexes, vision, hearing, and drug testing.
Re-examinations are due every two (2) years, although some exceptions may require yearly rescreens.

No. CDLIS identifies where a driver has held commercial licenses but does not provide violation or accident history. Motor Vehicle Records (MVRs) should be ordered separately for complete records.

CDLIS identifies the current commercial license and up to three prior CMV licenses across states.

CDLIS is often used during the hiring process for commercial drivers or for periodic compliance checks to ensure a complete understanding of a driver’s licensing history.
