Driving professionally requires many skills, but personal health is critical, too. For this very reason, the Department of Transportation requires regular physicals for every CDL Driver! At AFC Urgent Care Tomball, we understand how important DOT Physicals is for our CDL Drivers as well as their Employers, and the other drivers on the road. We follow the strict guidelines provided by FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration).
We take care of you because we want to keep you safe. Each time you get on the road, you are responsible for your safety, as well as the safety of all the people who share the road with you. A DOT medical exam at AFC Urgent Care Raleigh Midtown, will confirm that you are healthy enough to perform your demanding job and keep the roads safe.
For professional drivers, particularly truck and bus drivers, to obtain or maintain a commercial driving license, they must periodically receive a DOT physical. These exams are required by the Department of Transportation (DOT) to ensure nothing will negatively impact their driving performance. Every two years, you need to visit a qualified examiner, a doctor, physician’s assistant, or nurse practitioner and complete your DOT physical. AFC Urgent Care Tomball handles countless DOT physical exams in Tomball, every year, and we know how to get them done efficiently so that you can get the necessary paperwork submitted on time. Best of all, you don’t even need an appointment – just stop right in whenever it’s time for your next exam.
As and added benefit, we use the CerteDrive electronic system. Using CerteDrive allows us to issue DOT driver certifications results in more complete and compliant certifications for every driver. The CerteDrive system creates the federally mandated long form MCSA-5875 and the medical card MCSA-5876 at the end of each certification.
A typical DOT physical begins with a review of your medical history and the medications you take regularly. It will also include:
By following these tips, you will save time and potentially money on the day of your DOT physical.
AFC Tomball offers some of the lowest wait times around, so you should be in and out in an hour. Wait times are usually less than fifteen minutes, and the exam takes about thirty minutes.
A DOT physical is non-invasive and poses no serious health or medical risks. The AFC Tomball provider may ask questions about your health that make you uncomfortable, and you will undergo a hernia test that requires the doctor to place their hands on your pelvis.
After you pass your DOT physical, you will receive your Medical Card and your Long Form. While CerteDrive submits all our DOT physicals electronically on the Federal level, All Drivers are responsible to submit their Long Form to their Local DMV for State submissions.
After your exam, the AFC Tomball provider will do one of the following:
If your physical shows a medical issue, your AFC Tomball provider will complete your paperwork and, if possible, provide treatment on the spot. Otherwise, follow-up care will be recommended with your primary care doctor or specialist.
You can stop into any AFC, any time, for DOT physicals in Tomball. Check out our list of locations to find the one nearest you.
If you do not pass the exam, you will not receive a certificate.
