A DOT Physical Examination is a comprehensive medical evaluation required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for all commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. This examination ensures that drivers meet the physical qualifications necessary to safely operate commercial vehicles on public roads.
The DOT physical is conducted by licensed medical examiners listed on the FMCSA National Registry. Upon successful completion, drivers receive a Medical Examiner's Certificate (MEC) valid for up to 24 months, depending on their health status.
