Things To Prepare For Your Appointment

• Make sure to continue taking your prescribed medications as usual.
• Wear loose clothing for the physical exam.
• Don’t use the restroom just before your appointment. You will need to give a small urine sample for a kidney screen. This is not for a drug test.

Things You Must Bring To Your Appointment

•  Your valid driver’s license and /or other photo ID.
•  Eye glasses or contact lenses, if applicable. If you recently had an eye exam it would be helpful, but not necessary, to bring that exam report with you.
•  A working hearing aid, if applicable.
•  List of medications, and the name and contact information of the prescribing doctor.
•  Medical release opinion letter (get template) from your primary doctor or specialist for any medical conditions being treated, or recent illness, injury, or surgery.
•  Current FMCSA Waiver or Exemption Certificate or Skills Performance Evaluation if applicable.

What To Expect During The Examination

•  The doctor will review your health history with you.
• Conduct a thorough physical examination.
• Run a urine screen (dip-stick test) for urine specific gravity, urine protein, urine blood, and urine sugar, to check for the onset of possible disqualifying medical conditions.
  

How Long Is A DOT Medical Card Good For

•  2 years – If you meet all the FMCSA DOT Regulations for Commercial Driver Fitness.
•  A limited time, usually 1 year or 6 months, if periodic monitoring is required for certain medical conditions.
•  • A limited time, usually a 1 to 3 month window, if you have a recently diagnosed condition that you are working with your primary care doctor to get under control.
•  • Disqualified. A medical condition or medication may cause your medical card to be disqualified until the disqualifying conditions are rectified.
