Frequently Asked Questions About DOT Physical Exams
How long does a DOT physical exam take?
A DOT physical exam typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your medical history and whether additional documentation or testing is needed. Bringing the required records and a list of medications can help streamline the process.
How often do I need a DOT physical?
Most commercial drivers need a DOT physical every 24 months to maintain their Medical Examiner’s Certificate. Drivers with certain medical conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, may be required to obtain certification more frequently.
What can cause me to fail a DOT physical?
A driver may not qualify for DOT certification if they have a medical condition that could impair their ability to operate a commercial vehicle safely. Common issues include uncontrolled high blood pressure, certain vision or hearing impairments, untreated sleep apnea, or other conditions that do not meet FMCSA medical standards.
Can I get a DOT physical if I have high blood pressure?
Yes. Many drivers with high blood pressure can still qualify for DOT certification. The medical examiner will evaluate your blood pressure and overall health to determine whether you meet FMCSA requirements and whether any certification limitations apply.
