What we check in a DOT physical. Five categories. Vision: 20/40 acuity each eye and both, peripheral vision, color recognition. Hearing: whisper test at 5 feet, audiometric test if needed. Cardiovascular: blood pressure, pulse rate and rhythm, heart sounds. Urinalysis: sugar (diabetes screen), protein (kidney function), blood. Medical history: current medications, existing conditions, surgeries and treatments. We complete the DOT card same-day for most drivers.

If a finding needs follow-up

Most drivers leave with a 2-year certificate. If something needs attention — blood pressure that runs above the FMCSA limit on the day, an unresolved sleep-apnea question, or a specialist note we’d like to see — we’ll talk through it together. That can mean a 3-month temporary card while you address it, a recheck visit, or a quick note from your specialist.
