Want to Know What's Involved in Your Express DOT Physical Exam?
Our Specialty is Express DOT Physical Examinations
At DOT Express, we specialize in fast and hassle-free DOT physical exams to keep drivers compliant and on the road. If you book an appointment, DOT physical exams can take only 15 minutes. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
1. Medical History Review
You’ll complete the DOT 5875 medical history form, which the examiner will review. These questions help identify any concerns, but are not meant to disqualify you.
2. Urine Screening (Not a Drug Test)
This test checks for kidney and metabolic conditions like diabetes. If abnormalities appear, further testing may be needed, but this will not disqualify you automatically.
3. Vision Test
Your vision will be tested with or without corrective lenses. You’ll read a 20-foot chart to ensure your eyesight meets FMCSA safety standards.
4. Blood Pressure Check
Blood pressure plays a key role in your certification length. To improve your reading:
-
Avoid caffeine before your exam
-
Get enough rest
-
Take prescribed blood pressure medication if applicable
5. Hearing Test
You must be able to hear a forced whisper from five feet away. If needed, an audiometric test will be performed for accuracy.
6. Full Physical Examination
A licensed medical examiner will conduct a complete physical to assess your overall health and ensure you meet FMCSA requirements.
7. Certification Decision
Your medical examiner will determine the length of your CDL medical card based on FMCSA guidelines:
-
2 years (full approval)
-
1 year, 6 months, or 3 months (limited approval based on health conditions)
-
Disqualification if FMCSA requirements are not met
8. Same-Day CDL Medical Card
Once approved, you’ll receive your DOT Medical Certificate (DOT 5876) the same day. You’ll also get a copy of your DOT 5875 form for your records.
At DOT Express, we know your time is valuable. With no wait times, same-day certification, and a team that puts drivers first, we make DOT physical exams simple and stress-free.
