DOT Physical Exam

A DOT physical exam is the evaluation required in order to operate a commercial vehicle. It is referred to as a “medical fitness for duty” examination, which ensures that each driver is capable and healthy enough to successfully complete the duties associated with commercial driving. The health standards are determined by the FMCSA and each DOT physical exam must be conducted by a certified medical professional to ensure the high quality standards are met during each exam.

Your examination results need to be recorded on a DOT Physical Form by a licensed medical examiner such as a Doctor of Chiropractic. Our chiropractic office has these forms. However, just to be sure, you can download your DOT Medical form from various sources online (including the federal government) and take it with you to the doctor’s office.

You must pass the DOT physical in order to qualify for a CDL as your health plays an important factor in driving safety, especially considering the vehicles you’ll be driving.

You must have 20/40 correctable vision in each eye. Glasses or contact lenses are acceptable to correct a driver’s vision.
You cannot be a diabetic on needle-injected meds; diabetes controlled through a diet or oral medication is permitted.
If you have a current diagnosis of cardiac insufficiency, collapse, congestive cardiac failure or any other cardiovascular disease you will be required to provide the Medical Examiner with a stress test (needs to be performed within the last 12 months) along with a release from your physician stating that you can drive a commercial motor vehicle without restrictions
Other factors or conditions which could prevent you from obtaining the required DOT clearance include: sleep apnea, recent back injury, recent major surgery, a current hernia, or recent workmen’s compensation claims. If you have questions about your medical health, please consult your physician before beginning the training program.

Please call (305) 928-2828 for directions and to set up an appointment.

Dr Dean and staff are so caring. When I first started treatment there I was in extreme pain. They did everything to make sure I was comfortable and receiving the appropriate treatment!

I went to the Miami Accident Center after hurting my back and neck in a car accident. The employees were very attentive to me. The doctor, besides being very nice, is a very professional person. He answered all my questions and explained each step of the process. The same day my therapy began and in a few weeks I felt much better.
