The physical examination you take for your medical certificate confirms that you are healthy enough to safely perform the demanding job of a CMV driver and keep our roads safe.

Steps To Prepare For A DOT Exam
1. Review Medical History:
Gather any relevant medical records, including previous DOT medical certificates, treatment records, and medications list. Be prepared to discuss any current medical conditions with the examiner.
2. Manage Health Conditions:
Ensure any chronic conditions (like hypertension, diabetes, or sleep apnea) are well-managed and under control. Follow your doctor’s advice and take prescribed medications as directed. Bring documentation from your healthcare provider if necessary.
3. Healthy Lifestyle Choices:
Maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and get adequate sleep in the days leading up to the exam. Avoid excessive caffeine, sugar, and salt, which can affect blood pressure and other health indicators.
4. Avoid Substances That Could Affect Results:
Refrain from consuming alcohol and non-prescribed drugs before the exam. Inform the examiner about any over-the-counter or prescription medications you are taking, as some can impact the results of the medical exam.
By following these steps, you can help ensure that you are in the best possible condition for your DOT medical exam.
Next Steps After Obtaining Your DOT Medical Card
1. Submit the Medical Card:
Send your medical certificate to your State Driver Licensing Agency (SDLA) or DMV within the required timeframe (usually 15-30 days).
2. Carry and Share:
Always carry a copy of your DOT medical card while driving and provide a copy to your employer.
3. Verify CDL Status:
Ensure your CDL reflects your updated medical status to avoid downgrading to a non-commercial license.
4. Monitor Expiration:
Keep track of your medical card’s expiration date (typically every 1-2 years) and schedule renewal exams in advance.
5. Stay Healthy and Informed:
Follow medical advice to maintain health and stay updated on FMCSA certification requirements.
6. Notify Employers:
Keep current and future employers informed of your medical certification status.
