DOT Physicals for New and Renewing Drivers

DOT Physicals are necessary for everyone applying for a commercial driving job or renewing their certification. While the purpose of the exam remains the same, ensuring drivers are fit for duty, the process differs slightly for first-time applicants and those renewing their certification. What you need to know:

  • First-Time DOT Physicals

    It is possible that you will be asked to undergo a more comprehensive DOT physical if you are applying for your first commercial driver's license (CDL). The healthcare provider must evaluate all aspects of your health, including vision, hearing, mental alertness, mobility, and cardiovascular health, since there are no prior records or exams to refer to. Having pre-existing conditions that need monitoring, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or sleep apnea, may require additional tests or documentation.

  • Renewing Your DOT Physical

    In most cases, renewing your certification will be a faster and easier process if your health has not changed significantly. Your doctor will verify that your health has not deteriorated since your last exam and that you still meet the necessary physical standards during your renewal exam. Medical records or evidence of ongoing treatment may be required if you have a stable health condition, such as controlled diabetes or hypertension. A renewal exam can usually be completed in less time if no new medical issues have arisen.
