Keeping drivers safe is vital to Urgent Specialists. Our Clinicians are certified by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and are specially trained to understand DOT regulations.
A Department of Transportation (DOT) Physical is an examination mandated by FMCSA for Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) Drivers. A DOT Physical helps determine if a driver is physically, mentally, and emotionally capable to operate a commercial vehicle for long hours. Once the DOT physical is passed, the Certified Medical Examiner will issue a health certificate.
