Keep your CDL and your career moving. DOT Medical Exams 4 U provides complete DOT physical exams and CDL medical certifications for commercial drivers, owner-operators, and fleets throughout Georgia — performed by a certified DOT medical examiner listed on the National Registry.

CHECK AVAILABILITY & BOOKWHAT IS A DOT PHYSICAL EXAM?
A DOT physical exam (also called a CDL medical exam or DOT medical exam) is the physical evaluation required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to confirm that a commercial driver is medically qualified to safely operate a commercial motor vehicle. The exam covers vision, hearing, blood pressure, heart health, mobility, and overall physical condition, and results in your DOT medical card (Medical Examiner's Certificate).
Most commercial drivers operating in interstate or intrastate commerce are required to hold a current, valid DOT medical card — and it must be renewed periodically, typically every 24 months (or more frequently if your examiner requires a shorter certification period).
BOOK YOUR DOT PHYSICAL TODAYYour DOT Medical Card Now Goes to the State Electronically
Under FMCSA's National Registry II rule, we send your DOT physical results to FMCSA for you. Georgia DDS now receives CDL medical certificates electronically, so you no longer have to bring or mail your medical card to DDS. Here's what you need to know.
We upload your results
After your exam, our certified medical examiner uploads your results to the FMCSA National Registry by midnight of the next day. FMCSA then sends them to your state's driver licensing agency.
Bring your CDL to your exam
Your name, date of birth, license number and licensing state must match your state record exactly. If anything doesn't match, your results can't be posted to your driving record.
You still have to self-certify with DDS
The upload sends your medical card, not your driving category. Every Georgia CDL holder must self-certify their type of driving (most drivers are Non-Excepted Interstate). Georgia DDS now has this as a digital form you can fill out and sign online. You do it once, and again only if your status changes.
Keep a copy with you
You'll still receive a copy of your Medical Examiner's Certificate. Georgia DDS encourages CDL drivers to keep a copy of their valid medical information with them at all times.

DOT PHYSICAL FAQ
Answers to the questions drivers ask us most.
How much does a DOT physical cost?
Your DOT physical is $98 for a single visit. If you're an employer or fleet certifying several drivers, call us at (770) 335-2434 for group rates.
Do I need an appointment?
No, walk-ins are welcome Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, and Saturday, 1 PM to 4 PM. Booking online is recommended so you don't have to wait.
How long does the exam take?
Most DOT physicals are finished in one visit, usually in about an hour.
What should I bring to my DOT physical?
Bring your driver's license or CDL, a list of all your medications (names and doses), and your glasses, contacts or hearing aids if you use them. If you're renewing, bring your current medical card. If you have a condition like diabetes, a heart condition or sleep apnea, bring recent records from your doctor (for sleep apnea, your CPAP compliance report).
How long is a DOT medical card good for?
A DOT medical card is good for up to 24 months. The examiner may give you a shorter card, such as one year, if a condition like high blood pressure needs to be checked more often.
Does the DOT physical include a drug test?
No. The physical includes a urine test that checks for health issues like protein, blood and sugar, but it does not test for drugs. If your employer needs a drug test, you can book a DOT or non-DOT drug test and do it in the same visit.
Do I still need to take my medical card to the DMV (DDS)?
If you have a Georgia CDL, no. We upload your results to the FMCSA National Registry, and they're sent to Georgia DDS electronically. You still need to self-certify your type of driving with DDS (most drivers are Non-Excepted Interstate). You only do that once, unless your status changes. You can complete the CDL Self-Certification Form online on the Georgia DDS website.
Can I pass with high blood pressure or diabetes?
Many drivers with well-controlled conditions are certified, sometimes with a shorter card. If you use insulin, your treating doctor must fill out the Insulin-Treated Diabetes Mellitus Assessment Form (MCSA-5870) before your exam. Bring your medication list and recent records.
What are the vision and hearing requirements?
You need at least 20/40 vision in each eye and both eyes together (glasses or contacts are OK), and you must be able to tell red, green and amber apart. For hearing, you must hear a forced whisper at 5 feet or pass a hearing test (hearing aids are OK).
Do you work with employers and fleets?
Yes. We work with trucking companies, logistics operators and staffing agencies, and we offer group scheduling. Call us at (770) 335-2434 to set it up.
