What to bring
Be sure to complete the Driver Information and Health History sections on the Medical Examination Report Form to save time.
- A valid identification
- A Medical Examination Report Form
- A complete list of all your medications with the doses and your doctor's name
It is advisable to avoid consuming coffee, tobacco, and energy drinks for at least one day before your medical assessment — these can spike your blood pressure by up to 20 points. Per FMCSA guidelines, high blood pressure may impact your certification period and prevent you from obtaining or renewing a medical card.
What to expect after the exam
- A copy of the completed DOT medical examination form and a laminated copy of your medical card will be given to you on the same day of the examination.
- A copy of your drug test result, which typically takes 3 to 4 days to process, will be sent to the employer if applicable.
