DOT Exams in CA & Oregon

What are DOT exams?

DOT exams are physical examinations that determine whether or not you’re physically capable of safely driving your commercial or another safety-sensitive vehicle. Your DOT exam follows strict guidelines set up by the FMCSA and can only be conducted by licensed medical examiners like the team at Interstate Medical Group.

To maintain your commercial driver’s license (CDL), your DOT exam needs to be updated every 24 months, or sooner if you have a medical condition that benefits from regular medical monitoring, such as high blood pressure or diabetes.

If it’s time for your DOT exam or you need to complete your DOT exam to get your CDL, contact Interstate Medical Group to schedule an appointment.

What do I need to bring to a DOT exam?

The team at Interstate Medical Group provides specific instructions on the items you need to bring to your DOT exam. If you’re missing any of the required items, the team may not issue your DOT certificate or may need to reschedule your exam.

The items you may need to bring to your DOT exam include:
