When do you need a DOT physical?


You might need a DOT physical examination if you’re a commercial vehicle driver or if you’re training to become a commercial vehicle driver. The physical is necessary so you can obtain or renew a commercial driver’s license for your work.

The exam will make sure that you’re able to meet the physical requirements of your job. For example, the exam may test your ability to tolerate sitting for a long period. Other things will be tested too, such as your eyesight, hearing, and more.

What do they do in a DOT physical?


First of all, you’ll have to make sure you’re prepared for a DOT physical by bringing your glasses, contact lenses, and/or hearing aid, if applicable. This will help ensure accurate test results.

During a physical, the provider will most likely check your medical history for any issues with your respiration, lungs, liver, kidneys, or heart, and the provider will likely also perform a hearing test, an eye exam, and a urinalysis. Drug and alcohol screening can be provided if necessary.

Here at Pine Knob Urgent Care, our certified DOT physical exams include:

• A review of your medical history
A comprehensive physical exam including hearing and vision testing
• A urinalysis

Also, after your exam, we’ll automatically send your exam results to the National DOT Registry on your behalf.

How long will my DOT physical be good for?


When you pass a DOT physical, you’ll receive a medical certificate that allows you to drive a commercial vehicle for up to two years. However, if you have a medical condition and it’s necessary for a professional to monitor the condition, you may get a certificate for under two years. After a certificate expires, you’ll have to get another DOT physical.

Will my insurance cover my DOT physical?


Some insurance companies may cover the cost of a DOT physical, and some employers may reimburse employees for the cost of a DOT physical. You can check with your insurance company or your employer, or you can contact us here at Pine Knob Urgent Care. We may be able to provide the information you need.
