What Does a DOT Physical Consist of?

A DOT physical consists of several tests to ensure the safety and health of those operating vehicles on public roadways. These tests are an essential part of any commercial driver's application process. Drivers must pass them to receive a valid commercial driver's license. The tests include:

  • Vision: Drivers must possess at least 20/40 vision in each eye, with or without glasses or contacts. This test also assesses color, distance, and horizontal field of vision.
  • Hearing: Drivers must demonstrate their ability to hear a "forced whisper" from no further than 5ft away, with or without using a hearing aid device such as a cochlear implant.
  • Blood Pressure/Pulse: These tests measure the driver's blood pressure and detect any potential irregularities in their heart rate or function.
  • Urinalysis: This portion of the exam checks for underlying medical conditions such as diabetes or other kidney-related issues that may affect the driver's ability behind the wheel.
  • Physical Examination: The doctor will check an array of categories, including eyes, ears, mouth, heart, lungs, abdomen, extremities, spine, and neurological functioning, during this observation-based screening.

How to Prepare for Your DOT Physical

Before you visit Rowland Chiropractic, there are a few things you can do to make sure your experience is smooth and stress-free. Make sure to:

  • Drink plenty of water before your appointment to provide accurate urinalysis results.
  • Avoid caffeine for at least 24 hours before your appointment, as it can cause blood pressure readings that are higher than usual and not reflect your actual state.
  • Bring necessary items, such as eyeglasses, contacts, or hearing aids; any clearance letters; medical history; and a list of medications you are taking. Having this information readily available is essential since many health conditions can affect your certification status under DOT guidelines.

How Much Does a DOT Physical Cost?

At Rowland Chiropractic, a DOT physical costs $80 for appointments. Please note that walk-ins are subject to pricing changes. A holding fee of $20 is required when scheduling an appointment. This $20 fee is deducted from the $80 physical cost at the time of the appointment.
