AI Overview

Overview of DOT Physical Examinations

A Department of Transportation (DOT) physical examination is a health assessment mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. This examination ensures that each driver is capable and healthy enough to safely perform the demanding duties associated with operating a commercial vehicle. The primary goal is to enhance road safety by preventing accidents caused by physical health issues.

Who Needs a DOT Physical?

  • Commercial Drivers: All commercial drivers who operate vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating over 10,000 pounds must undergo this physical examination.
  • Interstate Bus Drivers: Drivers who operate vehicles that carry more than 15 passengers, including the driver, interstate.
  • Hazardous Material Transporters: Those who transport hazardous materials that require safety permits due to the quantity.

Components of a DOT Physical

The DOT physical covers various health checks to assess a driver’s physical and mental capabilities:

  1. Vision Test: Drivers must have at least 20/40 acuity in each eye with or without correction and a horizontal visual field of at least 70 degrees in the horizontal meridian in each eye.
  2. Hearing Test: Drivers must be able to hear a forced whisper from a distance of at least five feet with or without a hearing aid.
  3. Blood Pressure/Pulse Rate: Assesses cardiovascular health and the potential for hypertension.
  4. Urinalysis: Screens for underlying medical conditions like diabetes and kidney disorders.
  5. Physical Examination: Involves the examination of multiple systems in the body including neurological, musculoskeletal, respiratory, and psychiatric systems to ensure no impairment that could hinder driving ability.

Validity and Certification

Once a driver passes the DOT physical, they receive a DOT medical certificate which is typically valid for up to two years. However, if a condition is found that requires monitoring (such as hypertension), the medical certificate may be issued for a shorter period.

Preparing for a DOT Physical

Drivers should prepare for their DOT physical by:

  • Gathering Health Information: Bring a list of current medications and information on any diagnosed conditions.
  • Wearing Proper Attire: Wear loose clothing for the physical exam, and bring any necessary corrective lenses or hearing aids.
  • Staying Informed: Be aware of how certain medical conditions might affect the ability to pass the physical.

A DOT physical is a crucial step for the safety of both the commercial driver and other road users. By ensuring medical fitness, these exams help maintain high safety standards in the transportation industry.

Local Area Info: Cameron, Missouri

The Clinton County portion of Cameron is part of the Kansas City, MO–KS Metropolitan Statistical Area, while the DeKalb County portion is part of the St. Joseph, MO–KS Metropolitan Statistical Area.

In 1854, Samuel McCorkle platted the town of Somerville. When the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad (a line whose founders included the father of Mark Twain and which was to deliver the first mail of the Pony Express) proposed coming through the area, the line claimed the area around Somerville was too steep for the rail, so he platted a new community 1.5 miles to the west in what is now "Olde Towne" Cameron. The town platted in 1855 was named for the maiden name of his wife, Malinda Cameron. McCorkle Park is still Cameron's centerpiece park.

During the 1860s, as fierce competition raged for the starting point of the First Transcontinental Railroad, there was competition to get the Hannibal & St. Joseph (which at the time was the farthest west railroad connected to the main rail network) to cross the Missouri River. Omaha, Nebraska was to win the fight when the Union Pacific started the railroad west from there. However, there was no bridge connecting it to the rest of the network.
