If you pass your exam, the doctor will give you a copy of the medical certificate. A DOT physical is valid for up to 24 months.
Why are DOT driver physicals needed?
Drivers of commercial vehicles have safety-sensitive jobs. This means their work can affect their safety and the public’s safety. To help make sure that drivers are healthy, a regular physical is required. A DOT physical meets strict Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) guidelines.
