As the Department of Transportation requires, a DOT Physical must be passed once every two years, unless a medical condition needs to be monitored more closely. After a DOT Physical, our provider must choose to qualify, disqualify, or temporarily disqualify the driver. Some drivers may require further medical documentation or test results to meet qualification standards. No extra fees will apply if a patient returns within 30 days with the requested medical documentation or test results. At the time of a patient's return, they will be reevaluated to determine if they meet the FCMSA guidelines. Drivers who pass their DOT Exam will receive their DOT Medical Examiner Certificate (MEC) on the same day!

We are committed to getting drivers on the road quickly and safely. Appointments can be made by calling our urgent care center or walking into our urgent care center. Note: DOT Physicals may only be available for the last 3 hours of our day.
