DOT Exams in CA & Oregon

What are DOT exams?

DOT exams are physical examinations that determine whether or not you’re physically capable of safely driving your commercial or another safety-sensitive vehicle. Your DOT exam follows strict guidelines set up by the FMCSA and can only be conducted by licensed medical examiners like the team at Interstate Medical Group.

To maintain your commercial driver’s license (CDL), your DOT exam needs to be updated every 24 months, or sooner if you have a medical condition that benefits from regular medical monitoring, such as high blood pressure or diabetes.

If it’s time for your DOT exam or you need to complete your DOT exam to get your CDL, contact Interstate Medical Group to schedule an appointment.

What do I need to bring to a DOT exam?

The team at Interstate Medical Group provides specific instructions on the items you need to bring to your DOT exam. If you’re missing any of the required items, the team may not issue your DOT certificate or may need to reschedule your exam.

The items you may need to bring to your DOT exam include:

  • Valid government-issued identification (driver’s license, passport)
  • List of medications and dosages
  • Name and addresses of all your doctors
  • Corrective eyewear (if needed)
  • Hearing aids (if needed)

If you have diabetes, the team may request that you provide a copy of your most recent haemoglobin A1C test. If you have a heart condition, they may ask that you bring in records from your cardiologist that provide information about your diagnosis, medical history, and medications, as well as a statement that indicates your condition won’t affect the safety of your work.

What Happens During DOT Exams?

Your DOT exam is a comprehensive evaluation, but you should not view it as an annual physical exam. During your exam, the team

  • Tests vision and hearing
  • Checks blood pressure and heart rate
  • Completes a urinalysis to check for health conditions such as diabetes
  • Conducts a full physical exam

After your exam, Interstate Medical Group issues your DOT certificate so you can obtain or renew your license. If you don’t pass your DOT exam, the team outlines the reasons why and provides recommendations on the steps you need to take to improve your health and reduce safety risks, which may include medication to control health conditions such as diabetes, ophthalmological problems, or hearing deficits.

The FMCSA requires DOT exams. To schedule your exam, call Interstate Medical Group or request an appointment online today!

I came to this clinic after a car accident, and from my very first visit, Dr. Michael helped me with my neck and back pain. I also saw Dr. Emilia and received a TPI treatment, which provided immediate relief. I started feeling much better within the first week.

I would like to thank both doctors for their professionalism, care, and excellent treatment. I also want to mention that the entire staff is very friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help.

I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for quality care and effective treatment.

Dr. Michael is absolutely amazing at what he does. He always figures out exactly what's wrong and gets me back to feeling 100%. The team at Interstate Medical Group is great and they don't waste your time. Definitely the best chiropractor in Oregon.

I was struggling with severe back pain that had taken away from work. They were able to get me in same day. The office and staff are phenomenal. The salt room was amazing. The doctor was kind, informative, and thorough. I left feeling so much better and was able to walk and sit comfortably immediately. The best chiropractor I've seen hands down.

I'd always been afraid to visit a chiropractor's office, but I'm so glad I did because I've felt so much better since my visit. Dr. Michael and Dr. Cohn have helped me feel so much better. I have less and less pain with each visit. I love getting regular adjustments, and even the TPI injections have helped me tremendously in managing my muscle pain. The massages are a really nice and relaxing bonus; the staff knows what they're doing and is always super friendly and helpful. A 10/10 experience!

Dr. Michael is absolutely amazing! He really knows his stuff. My husband wasted years of time and money on other chiropractors who did very little to relieve his pain. We were becoming concerned for his future and his ability to run his business. After just 2 visits he feels like new. Dr. Michael is truly a blessing from God!

I’m really disappointed to write this because I wanted to love this place and I see a lot of great reviews, but I went in for my first visit and I was highly disappointed and felt like I wasn’t even taken care of and nothing was done to help my spine decompress, even though that was part of what I was paying for. I don’t know if it was because I did a special and it wasn’t very much or what but I don’t feel like I was taken care of, and I wouldn’t say that it was worth the money or any at that. The provider took me back, spoke to me for a few minutes give me a few handouts that I could easily print off the Internet .. and then hooked me up to a machine that only hurt my head, didn’t do anything for my spine she left the room for the first few minutes and when she came and I told her I don’t feel like it’s working, And it was hurting my head and she kept going and then after five or 10 minutes, came back again, walked me out and it was done. Unfortunately, I don’t recommend this place

Dr. Michael is a life-saver!!! I consistently get pain relief following an adjustment from him. His method of treatment is pretty good. The office staff are very friendly and the wait is always super short. Love it! Office is cozy. Thank you all!
