DOT physical FAQs
Common reasons drivers get delayed — and how to avoid it.
Blood pressure
If your blood pressure is elevated, you may receive a shorter certification period or be asked for follow-up documentation. Bring your medication list if you take BP meds.
Sleep apnea / CPAP
If you use a CPAP, bring a compliance report. If you’ve been referred for a sleep study, we’ll need results or documentation that meets DOT standards.
Vision
You must test using the corrective lenses you drive with. Bring your glasses or contacts (and a backup if you have one).
Medications
Bring a current medication list. If a medication requires provider documentation, we’ll tell you exactly what form is needed.
For employers
Send drivers with the right info so everything stays smooth.
Best practice
- Send drivers early (mornings are fastest)
- Confirm they bring ID + corrective lenses
- Ask them to bring medication list + relevant documents
