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

A clinic or physician practice with certified examiners on staff. Call ahead: DOT exams may be by appointment only.

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

What to bring

Photo ID and your CDL, or your permit if you do not have the license yet.
A list of every medication you take, with doses and the prescribing doctor.
Glasses, contacts or hearing aids if you use them. Bring them, do not just mention them.
If you have sleep apnea, your CPAP compliance report. If you are diabetic, your recent A1C and a blood-sugar log.
If you have a heart condition, a stent or a pacemaker, bring the clearance letter from your cardiologist. Without it you will be sent home to get one.
