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.
