DOT Physical Exams for Commercial Drivers

Commercial Driver’s License Examinations

Dr. Douglas Gordon is certified by the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners to perform DOT Exams for intrastate and interstate commercial motor vehicle drivers. It is mandated by federal guidelines that all commercial drivers pass the Department of Transportation (DOT) physical exam. The goal of these exams is to check whether an applicant is fit enough to drive safely at the present time, as well as into the foreseeable future. A 2-year certification is granted to the commercial driver who successfully completes the exam with no significant health issues.

DOT Exams assess various health factors, including vision, hearing, blood pressure, cardiovascular health, and overall physical fitness to ensure that drivers can handle the demands of operating commercial vehicles. Conditions such as diabetes, sleep apnea, and high blood pressure must be properly managed to meet DOT requirements. During the exam, Dr. Gordon evaluates medical history, performs a thorough physical assessment, and provides guidance on maintaining optimal health for commercial driving. Drivers who require further medical attention or have health concerns that could affect their certification can receive professional recommendations to improve their eligibility. Ensuring compliance with DOT health regulations is essential not only for legal operation but also for road safety and long-term well-being.
