A DOT physical helps evaluate whether medical conditions could affect your ability to safely perform your job while protecting both drivers and the public.

• Urinalysis screening
• General physical examination
• Review of medications and chronic medical conditions

Depending on your health history, additional medical documentation may be required before certification can be completed.
