DOT Physicals in Colby
When Franz Chiropractic realized there was a need for a local area provider of Department of Transportation physicals, they quickly stepped in to fill the void.
DOT physicals are required in order to obtain a commercial driver’s license.
They’re used to determine your overall physical health and ability to safely operate a commercial vehicle. These determinations ensure that you’re medically qualified to handle the intense schedule, physical demands, and emotional stress of operating commercial vehicles, under all types of conditions.
DOT physicals are required for drivers who:
- Operate motor vehicles that carry more than 15 peopled
- Are paid to operate motor vehicles that carry more than eight people
- Transport hazardous materials that require their vehicles to display a hazmat placar
- Operate motor vehicles that have a gross combination weight rating of over 10,000 pounds
What to Expect
A thorough exam will be performed to make sure you are able to drive safely under the FMCSA-DOT regulations. Dr. Franz will perform a series of tests to check your blood pressure, vision, hearing, digestive, and mental health. Urinalysis will be performed to check for hydration, blood, protein, and sugar in your urine. We will review your past medical history and will need a list of all current medications. If you wear glasses or contacts to drive, please bring those with you.
Once you pass a DOT physical, you’ll receive a medical certificate that allows you to drive a commercial vehicle for 2 years, provided you have no underlying physical or mental condition that requires testing more often.
