DOT Physical Exams in Katy, TX

A DOT physical exam is a medical evaluation required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to ensure that commercial drivers are physically qualified to operate a commercial vehicle safely. It includes checks for vision, hearing, blood pressure, and overall physical health.

A DOT physical exam is typically valid for up to 24 months. However, if certain health conditions are present (like high blood pressure or diabetes), a certificate may be issued for a shorter period, such as 12 months or less.

You should bring:

• A valid driver’s license or ID

• A list of current medications

• Glasses or hearing aids if used

• Any medical records related to chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, heart disease)

• Employer paperwork if required

The exam usually takes 30–45 minutes, depending on your medical history and any documentation you provide. We offer same-day appointments and efficient service for Harris County drivers.

If you do not meet FMCSA health requirements, you may be temporarily disqualified until the condition is treated or further documentation is provided. Our provider will walk you through any next steps, including referrals or retesting timelines.
