DOT Physicals in Fenton

Helping You Become Work-Ready!

A Department of Transportation (DOT) physical is an assessment designed to ensure that a driver meets certain medical standards. To become and remain DOT compliant and legally hold a commercial driver's license, commercial drivers must undergo regular DOT physicals. Fortunately, at First Stop Chiropractic, we offer the convenience of DOT physicals here at our office! Our team will help you determine if you meet the commercial driving qualifications established by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). 

This type of examination typically takes about 45 minutes. During the appointment, we evaluate the driver's physical and mental status, conduct vision screenings and review their medical history to determine if they are qualified to drive safely. We recommend bringing a list of any medications you’re currently taking and wearing eyeglasses, if applicable. We also recommend avoiding caffeine before your DOT physical, if possible, as that can cause extra shakiness.
