Professional commercial drivers are required to take a DOT physical before they are permitted to operate a commercial motor vehicle. This helps ensure that the individual has the mental and physical capacity to handle the stress and long hours that are required in operating a CMV. The main objective of the DOT physical is to ensure that a commercial driver does not have any underlying health condition that may place his or the public at risk when operating large vehicles or equipment.
At Liberty Family Care, we offer the following DOT physical examinations.
- Vital signs
- Hearing and vision
- Heart and lung function
- Eyes, ears, and mouth
- Nerves, coordination, and balance
- Abdominal and digestive health
- Genitourinary health
- Spine and muscles
- Circulatory system and heart health
- Urinalysis
The DOT physical examinations are highly regulated and must follow FMCSA guidelines precisely. To make the process seamless, we usually advise that the first page of your DOT physical paperwork be completed before your appointment time at Liberty Family Care.
This portion of the health assessment utilizes a questionnaire to collect your most recent health history and other related information to assist Dr. Bolaji and her team to have a complete picture of your current health status.
As applicable, please bring along the following:
- All prescribed current medications
- Eyeglasses or contacts
- Latest lab results
- Recent diagnostic study results
