Commercial drivers are required by the Department of Transportation (DOT) to undergo regular physicals to confirm they meet federal health standards for safety on the road.
At Wallenpaupack Medical, DOT physicals will soon be available, providing drivers with a convenient, professional option for completing this requirement.
What Is a DOT Physical?
A DOT physical evaluates your overall health to ensure you can safely operate a commercial vehicle. It typically includes:
- Review of medical history
- Blood pressure and vision screening
- Hearing test
- Physical exam
- Lab tests if necessary
Why Are DOT Physicals Required?
DOT exams are required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to ensure drivers are physically able to handle the demands of commercial driving. Certification is valid for up to 24 months, depending on your health status.
Why Choose Wallenpaupack Medical for DOT Physicals?
Once available, DOT exams will be provided by Kelly Gorman, whose background in emergency and family care ensures thorough and efficient evaluations.
