Frequently asked questions

To help you better understand the process, we’ve answered the most common questions about DOT physicals. From who needs one to what to expect during the exam, this FAQ section will help guide you through a few things you need to know to keep your workforce compliant and safe.

  • What is the purpose of a DOT physical?

    A DOT physical ensures that employees in safety-sensitive roles, like commercial drivers and transportation workers, are physically, mentally, and emotionally fit to perform their duties. This helps maintain public safety and comply with federal regulations set by the Department of Transportation.

  • Who is required to take a DOT physical?

    DOT physicals are required for employees in safety-sensitive roles, including commercial drivers, truckers, aviation workers, railroad operators, and other transportation professionals who operate under federal DOT regulations.

  • How often do DOT physicals need to be done?

    Typically, DOT physicals are required every two years. However, if an employee has certain medical conditions (like high blood pressure), a shorter certification period may be issued, requiring more frequent exams to ensure their ongoing fitness for duty.

  • What should employees bring to a DOT physical?

    Employees should bring a valid ID, a complete list of medications, contact information for their prescribing doctors, and any medical devices they use (e.g., glasses, hearing aids). If they have a medical history of conditions like sleep apnea or heart disease, they should also bring relevant medical reports or test results.

  • What happens if an employee doesn’t pass the DOT physical?

    If an employee fails the DOT physical, they will not be cleared to perform safety-sensitive tasks. In many cases, the issue may be temporary and can be resolved with medical treatment, allowing them to re-take the exam at a later date. We work with you to provide guidance on next steps for compliance.

  • How long does it take to get DOT physical results?

    Most DOT physicals are processed quickly, and employees can receive their medical certification the same day if they pass the exam. For cases requiring additional testing or medical reports, the process may take a little longer, but we aim to provide results as efficiently as possible.

  • What conditions might disqualify an employee from passing the DOT physical?

    Certain medical conditions may disqualify an employee from passing the DOT physical, including uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe heart conditions, uncontrolled diabetes, epilepsy, or poor vision or hearing that cannot be corrected. Our certified medical examiners will assess these factors during the exam.

  • How can our company stay compliant with DOT regulations?
