The Department of Transportation requires all Commercial Drivers License (CDL) holders to receive a periodic physical examination called a “Department of Transportation Medical Examination,” or DOT physical, to ensure the ability of the driver to safely operate a commercial vehicle. The US Department of Transportation has set the following guidelines:

  1. CDL holders (Drivers) must have 20/40 correctable vision in each eye. Glasses or contact lenses are permitted.
  2. Drivers cannot be a diabetic on needle-injected insulin; diabetes controlled through a diet or oral medication is permitted.
  3. A driver’s blood pressure must be under 160/100. Prescription medication to control blood pressure is permitted.
  4. Use of a Schedule 1 drug, amphetamine, narcotic or any other habit-forming drug is not permitted.
  5. If a driver has a current diagnosis of cardiac insufficiency, collapse, congestive cardiac failure or any other cardiovascular disease, he/she will be required to provide the Medical Examiner with a stress test (performed within the last 12 months) along with a release from the driver’s physician stating that he/she can drive a commercial motor vehicle without restrictions.

The Department of Transportation also requires clearance for drivers that have been diagnosed with the following conditions: sleep apnea, recent back injury, recent major surgery, a current hernia, or have had recent workers’ compensation claims.

She took the time and actually cared enough to help me figure things out. She is very knowledgeable and absolutely wonderful. … With people like her in your practice it redefines the word CARE!”
