Federal rules require certain commercial motor vehicle drivers in interstate commerce to maintain medical certification. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) explains the federal medical certification framework. Drivers should also confirm any state or employer requirements that apply to them.
A DOT medical certificate may be issued for up to 24 months, although a shorter period may be used when closer monitoring is appropriate. The FMCSA DOT medical exam guidance explains these requirements. For local service details, visit EZMED's DOT Physicals page.
Bring photo identification, corrective lenses or hearing aids you use, a current medication list, and relevant medical records or forms. EZMED also provides a broad range of medical services if you need care beyond the certification exam.
