What are DOT Physicals?
DOT (Department of Transportation) physicals are specialized medical examinations required by federal law for commercial drivers to ensure they are physically, mentally, and emotionally fit to operate commercial motor vehicles safely. These comprehensive exams evaluate your overall health and ability to meet the demanding requirements of commercial driving.
