What Is a DOT Physical?

A Department of Transportation (DOT) physical is a federally mandated medical exam required for CDL drivers and other commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operators. The exam ensures drivers are physically and mentally fit to perform their job duties safely and remain compliant with FMCSA regulations. DOT physicals must be completed by a Certified Medical Examiner (CME) listed on the National Registry.

DOT Physical Cost

Our DOT physical exam fee is $100, with no hidden charges. This includes the full FMCSA-compliant examination and required documentation completed by a Certified Medical Examiner.

Same-day appointments are available, helping you get certified and back to work quickly.
