  1. Charlotte NC DOT | DOT Physical Examination in Charlotte

  2. What Exactly is the DOT Physical Exam? If you are a commercial driver, then you might have been asked to get a DOT physical exam done. Strictly mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)

  3. What is Covered in a DOT Physical Exam? If you’re a professional truck driver, you may have been told that you need a Department of Transportation DOT physical.  Mandated by federal law, this checkup clears you for driving commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) and helps ensure that you and fellow CMV drivers can handle the long hours, exhausting schedules, and stress of operating commercial vehicles.

  4. What is the DOT Physical? These are the most common health problems associated with DOT medical certification or recertification that require documentation during the DOT exam to help expedite certification. Please have your treating physicianfill out this form prior to your exam. Failure to do so will delay your receiving your health card.

  5. What Does Snoring Have to do With the DOT Physical Exam? Snoring, in combination with obesity, can be highly predictive of obstructive sleep apnea risk. That said, even the loudest of snorers may not have a breathing obstruction. The sign that is most suggestive of sleep apnea occurs when snoring stops. If both snoring and breathing stop while the person’s chest and body try to breathe, that is literally a description of an event called an ‘apnea’. When breathing starts again, there is typically a deep gasp and then the resumption of snoring.

  6. What if I’m on blood pressure medication? Taking blood pressure medications will reduce your DOT medical certificate to one year. Your blood pressure must be controlled and be below 140 / 90 at the time of your DOT examination. Also, it is very helpful, if you have a note from your treating physician that states that your condition is being treated and that the treatment has been shown to be effective, safe and your condition is stable.
