Requirements of a DOT Exam

Requirements of a DOT Exam: Getting the Care You Need

At Eulo Chiropractic Center, you will always receive exceptional care from our chiropractor. Our chiropractic team is certified to perform the DOT exam and often do so for many truck drivers and others who work in commercial driving occupations.

What Is the DOT Exam?

commercial motor vehicleThe Department of Transportation (DOT) requires commercial motor vehicle drivers (those holding a CMV) license be physically fit enough to keep themselves and other drivers on the road with them safe. When you obtain a DOT exam, the medical certificate confirms you are healthy enough to manage the intense and demanding tasks required of a CMV driver. Certain requirements are looked at closely. These areas will be considered by the DOT exam examiner:

  • Vision acuity
  • Any history of current or past illnesses such as head injuries
  • Hearing disorders
  • Diabetes
  • Digestion concerns
  • Heart-related ailments
  • Disorders with the lungs
  • High blood pressure
  • Muscular weakness or diseases
  • Liver and kidney problems
  • Nervous system complications
  • Respiratory health

Truck drivers must be physically fit enough to remain on the road and to avoid putting other drivers at risk while they are behind the wheel. These requirements must be checked at least one time every 24 months. In short, you need a medical certificate from a licensed professional stating your health is not a risk to your ability to do the job of driving.
