WHAT IS A DOT PHYSICAL?
The DOT (Department of Transportation) requires regular physical exams to ensure that every commercial motor vehicle (CMV) that operates an automobile weighing as much as or greater than five tons is healthy and remains compliant with safety regulations. A DOT physical must be performed by a medical examiner that is certified by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The team at Naperville Internist offers this service to men and women. Your exam will include a vision and hearing check and other indicators of your total health, like blood pressure and any heart conditions. Contact Naperville Internist in Naperville, IL to schedule your DOT physical today.
