What Are DOT Exams?
A DOT exam is a mandatory physical evaluation required by the U.S. Department of Transportation for commercial drivers. The goal is to verify that you are medically qualified to safely operate a commercial motor vehicle. These exams check vital health markers and physical function, including:
- Vision and hearing screening
- Blood pressure and cardiovascular checks
- Musculoskeletal and flexibility evaluation
- Assessment of neurological and general health status
Most examinations take approximately 20–30 minutes and are designed to be efficient and straightforward.
