Time For Your DOT Physical?
As a rural healthcare clinic in Wyoming, we understand the importance of keeping our state's commercial vehicle drivers healthy and on the road. That's why we offer Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals to ensure that drivers are fit for duty and meet the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) medical standards.
What is a DOT Physical?
A DOT physical is a comprehensive medical examination that is required for commercial motor vehicle drivers to obtain or renew their commercial driver's license (CDL). The purpose of the physical is to ensure that drivers are physically capable of operating a commercial vehicle safely. The physical includes a review of the driver's medical history, as well as a physical examination that includes checks on the driver's vision, hearing, blood pressure, and more. Drivers must also pass a urinalysis drug test as part of the DOT physical.
Why are DOT Physicals Important?
DOT physicals are essential for ensuring that drivers are fit for duty and able to operate their vehicles safely. In rural Wyoming, truck drivers play a critical role in transporting goods and supplies, while bus drivers get people to and from school, work, and everywhere in between. It's crucial that they are physically and mentally capable of performing their job. DOT physicals also help to reduce the risk of accidents on the road caused by driver fatigue, poor health, and other factors.
