This examination makes sure that all commercial drivers are up to par in their daily health examinations and are at peak performance. It ensures that you or other CMV drivers are physically able to handle the long hours and stress of operating a commercial vehicle.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continue reading our guide on DOT Physicals to understand if you require one and what happens during an exam. <\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">What Does this Exam Consist of?\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A DOT Physical evaluates a driver\u2019s vision, blood pressure, and a complete review of their medical history. This can help ensure that a driver does not have certain health conditions and can safely operate a commercial vehicle. Here are the different parts of a DOT Physical Exam.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">A Vision Test<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">During a DOT Physical, your doctor will test you for at least 20\/40 vision for both eyes. If you wear prescription glasses, please be sure to bring them along. You will also be tested to distinguish various colors with and without your prescribed lenses. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">A Hearing Test<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Another portion of the test includes a hearing test. With or without hearing aids, a driver must be able to hear a forced whisper\u201d from less than five feet away.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">Urinalysis<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">You will be asked to take a urinalysis test. This test will help determine if you might have a medical condition or any irregularities that require immediate attention.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">Blood Pressure\/ Pulse Rate<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">You will also have a blood pressure and pulse test taken.
