What the DOT Physical Examination Covers

The exam is conducted by an FMCSA-certified medical examiner listed on the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners. It evaluates six core areas to confirm a driver meets federal medical standards for safe operation of a commercial motor vehicle.

Standard exam components include:

  • Health history and medication review: A complete discussion of past illnesses, surgeries, injuries, and current treatments
  • Vision screening: Minimum 20/40 acuity required in each eye, with or without correction
  • Hearing assessment: Evaluated by forced whisper test or audiometry
  • Blood pressure and pulse rate: Measured against FMCSA thresholds
  • Urinalysis: Screens for specific gravity, protein, blood, and glucose
  • Full physical examination: Head-to-toe assessment of overall health and fitness to drive

Drivers who meet all FMCSA medical standards may receive a Medical Examiner’s Certificate on Form MCSA-5876, valid for up to 24 months. The examining provider is required to transmit results electronically to the FMCSA National Registry. CDL holders must keep their certificate current with the New Hampshire DMV. A lapsed certificate can trigger a CDL downgrade within 60 days. Certain conditions, including controlled hypertension or sleep apnea, may result in a shorter certification period or require specialist documentation before a certificate can be issued.

Who Needs a DOT Physical Examination

Federal law mandates a valid DOT medical certificate for several categories of commercial drivers. If you fall into any of these groups, you need a current certificate before operating.

  • CDL holders operating in interstate commerce
  • Operators of vehicles with a GVWR of 10,001 lbs or more in interstate commerce
  • Drivers transporting more than 8 passengers for hire or more than 15 passengers not for hire
  • Drivers transporting hazardous materials requiring DOT placarding

Certification must be renewed at least every 24 months. Conditions such as controlled hypertension, diabetes, or sleep apnea may require more frequent recertification. New CDL applicants must pass the DOT physical exam before obtaining their license, and current holders must renew before their certificate expires to avoid a CDL downgrade.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

The visit is designed to move efficiently. Drivers check in with a government-issued photo ID and any employer-supplied authorization forms. Our certified collectors walk you through each step of the exam in plain terms before it begins, and we follow all required chain-of-custody documentation procedures throughout. Most drivers complete the examination in under an hour when they arrive with their documentation in order.
