If you're a commercial vehicle driver, transportation physicals are a necessary and important part of your job. But if you're honest about it, they're probably a little bit of a hassle, too. Every two years, you need to visit a doctor to get their stamp of approval so you can get back to work.
AFC Waxhaw handles countless DOT physicals every year, and we know how to get them done efficiently so 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.
What Do We Look for During Transportation Physicals?
A few of the things that we'll look at during your physical include:
- Your vision and hearing
- A test of your urine to screen for any undiagnosed problems
- Your physical health, e.g., weight, lung health, blood pressure, balance, and so forth
If your employer requires a drug or alcohol screening, we can get that taken care of as well. Along those lines, we can make sure you're up-to-date on your vaccines, keeping you safer while you're on the road.
