DOT Medical Exam for CDL Drivers
DOT Physicals at Delaware Back Pain and Sports Rehabilitation Centers
Federal law requires drivers of commercial motor vehicles to receive regular physical examinations by a licensed medical examiner. Your safety and the safety of others is our utmost concern. At Delaware Back Pain & Sports Rehabilitation Centers our examiners are specially trained, have passed the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) certification exam, and have been listed on the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME).
Our examiners are able to appropriately determine medical fitness for duty. They understand the regulations and prevent drivers from being inappropriately disqualified. We recommend that you schedule your appointment at least one month prior to your certification expiring to account for the unforeseen.
What do you need for your appointment?
- Valid driver's license
- List of treating doctors with phone numbers
- List of medications and doses
- Doctors' notes for all medical conditions
If you have a medical condition, no matter how small, you need documentation from the treating doctor stating that your condition is stable and that treatment is adequate, effective, safe, and clears you to drive with this condition. If you have not seen the doctor in a while, you may need to see them to sign off on this documentation.
To help us complete your exam, please review this chart and bring anything applicable to your exam. Please bring medical history and current notes, as well as medication, dosage, and duration. This information will help us determine your certification, but will not guarantee certification.
