What the DOT Exam Includes

Your commercial driver exam may include the following:

Health History Review

We review your medical conditions, previous procedures, current symptoms, and medications.

Vision and Hearing Screening

Bring the glasses, contact lenses, or hearing aids you use while driving.

Blood Pressure and Pulse

Your examiner checks measurements that may affect certification or its duration.

Physical Examination

The exam assesses areas such as your heart, lungs, reflexes, movement, balance, and general physical function.

Urinalysis

A urine sample is used to screen for certain medical indicators. This is separate from a DOT drug test.
