Components of a DOT Physical

- Gathering Health Information: Bring a list of current medications and information on any diagnosed conditions.

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.
