- 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.
