Preparing for your DOT Physical Exam
To prepare for your DOT physical, compile all your medical records, put together a list of any medical conditions you’ve been diagnosed with, prepare a list of medications and the name of the prescribing doctor, and take note of any medical devices that you require.
On the day of the exam, you’ll have to bring all of this with you. Here’s a checklist of things you should bring (where applicable):
- Photo identification
- Medical records
- List of medications, including strength and dosage, for both prescription and over-the counter drugs
- Eye glasses
- Hearing aids
- Copy of your most recent stress test (for heart conditions)
- Copy of your latest sleep test result (for sleep apnea)
- Contact information, including names, phone numbers, and fax numbers for all your doctors
Right before your physical exam: Make sure you drink a glass of water and come in with a full bladder, as you will have to provide a urine sample.
Tips on Managing your blood pressure
We understand that lots of people don’t like doctors, hospitals, and medical exams, and that anticipating your appointment may elevate your blood pressure. But we work with drivers all day, and understand how important it is for you to pass your CDL physical exam. To help prepare yourself for the appointment, here are things you can do in the days and weeks leading up to your exam:
- Take your medication every day as prescribed and on schedule
- If you forget a dose, take it as soon as possible if that’s what your doctor recommends
- Reduce your caffeine, nicotine, sugar, and salt consumption
Once you’ve provided your medical history our team will review the information you’ve provided, go over any medical conditions you may have, and perform a basic urinalysis test. As part of the exam, she’ll also:
- Measure your height
- Weigh you
- Take your blood pressure and pulse
- Test your range of motion
- Examine your eyes and ears
- Check your breathing

What are DOT Physicals?
DOT physicals are a requirement of the Department of Transportation to minimize risk of a health event happening on the road. A disqualification does not necessarily mean you will never be able to obtain a CDL, it just means you may have some health issues that need to be addressed before getting on the road.
What are the CDL physical exam requirements?
CDL physical exam requirements include a medical history, urinalysis, vision exam, hearing, blood pressure, heart and lung exam, and overall health of the driver. It is important to remember to bring a list of your current medications, if any, and to bring your CPAP report if you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea.
