DOT (Department of Transportation) Physical Exams
At Stat File, we understand that ensuring the safety of our roads begins with qualified commercial drivers. Our DOT (Department of Transportation) physical exams are designed to assess the health and fitness of individuals seeking or maintaining a commercial driver's license (CDL).

Importance of DOT Physical Exams
Commercial drivers play a vital role in public safety, transporting goods and passengers across the country. A DOT physical exam evaluates several key health factors to ensure drivers can perform their duties without posing a risk to themselves or others on the road. From assessing cardiovascular health to checking vision and hearing capabilities, our thorough evaluations guarantee that you are fit for duty and compliant with federal regulations.
What to Expect During Your DOT Physical
When you schedule your DOT physical with Stat File, you can expect a comprehensive examination that includes a detailed review of your medical history and a series of physical tests. Our certified medical examiners will perform checks on your vision and hearing, as well as measure your blood pressure and pulse rate. We'll also conduct a urine test to screen for any underlying health issues that could impact your ability to safely operate a vehicle. The entire process is efficient, typically taking about 45 minutes, ensuring you spend less time waiting and more time on the road.
