Call before you drive out. The National Registry lists who is certified, not when they work. Hours, walk-in policy and the exam price are set by the clinic, and DOT exams are often limited to certain days.

What to expect here

Walk-in or same-day appointments, evening and weekend hours are common, and DOT exams are routine business here.

The certified examiners here include advanced practice registered nurses, medical doctors, nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Any of them can perform the exam and issue your medical certificate. FMCSA does not require a physician.
