Hit the road after DOT physicals
There’s no need to turn your DOT physicals into a logistical nightmare. Physicians Quality Care OCCMed can handle those logistics to suit your schedule.
The Department of Transportation requires drivers of commercial vehicles to get a DOT physical every two years — or more often if the driver’s health warrants it.
Our DOT physicals follow a plan laid out by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). This ensures that each driver can handle the long hours, schedules and stress caused by the demands of professional driving.
During a DOT physical, our FMCSA-certified medical examiners test for …
- Vision disorders: Drivers are required to have good peripheral vision and at least 20/40 acuity in each eye with or without correction.
- Hearing disorders: Drivers must be able to perceive what is known as a “forced whisper” at a distance of five feet or less.
- High or low blood pressure.
- Urinalysis to check for underlying conditions, such as diabetes, and to do a drug screen.
- Physical examination to check for disabilities and lung, vascular and neurological disorders.
Here’s how OCCMed Jackson handles those logistics ...
- We offer DOT physicals at our clinic or at your worksite with a minimum of five physicals.
