DOT Testing

For employees who drive a commercial motor vehicle (CMV), our urgent care clinics are ready to meet your DOT testing needs. We offer comprehensive DOT testing that’s fast and simple. Because our clinics offer walk-in service, you don’t need to schedule an appointment.

What to Expect During a DOT Test

The DOT test includes several individual examinations that can measure physical capabilities and detect potential health conditions.

  • Vision Test

    Our clinics test your vision to check for any potential issues that could affect you on the job. A vision score between 20 to 40 for both eyes is considered acceptable. Those who wear prescription glasses are encouraged to bring them along for this part of the test.

  • Physical Exam

    The DOT test involves a physical exam of the following:

    • General appearance
    • Abdomen and organs
    • Limbs
    • Lungs and chest
    • Mouth and throat
    • Neurological
    • Skeletal

    Each is evaluated to look for any potential health issues that could make driving a CMV unsafe.

  • Blood Pressure and Pulse Rate

    Blood pressure and pulse are measured to look for any potential conditions that could make driving a CMV difficult or unsafe.

  • Hearing Test

    Patients will need to be able to identify a forced whisper from approximately five feet away.

  • Urinalysis

    A urinalysis test can determine if there are potential health issues or concerns that could put your safety or the safety of others at risk.
