- Blood Pressure/Pulse Rate: Assesses cardiovascular health and the potential for hypertension.
- Urinalysis: Screens for underlying medical conditions like diabetes and kidney disorders.
- 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.

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.
