CDL and Non-CDL Medical Certifications
State law in compliance with FMCSA regulations require Safety Sensitive Drivers get a physical every two years.
We do CDL and Non-CDL physical evaluations for Commercial Motor Vehicle drivers with attention to Federal Standards. DOT Physicals are appointment or walk in based. Once the medical exam is completed and all health requirements are met, the driver will receive their medical certification card on the spot along with a copy of the exam results. A fitness determination will be entered on your behalf to the National Registry website which is forwarded to most state DMV's.
