Where can I get a DOT physical near me?

With a medical examiner listed on FMCSA's National Registry, and there are thousands nationwide. Tell Rise where your driver is, and we find a registered examiner close by, book the exam, and track the medical card when it's done.

Who needs a DOT physical?

Commercial drivers who operate vehicles regulated by FMCSA, including CDL drivers and many non-CDL drivers of larger commercial vehicles. Your company's DOT program should list who is covered.

How long is a DOT medical card good for?

Up to 24 months. The examiner can issue a shorter card, such as 12 months, when a condition like high blood pressure needs monitoring.

Who can perform a DOT physical?

Only a medical examiner listed on FMCSA's National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners. Rise books exams with registered examiners.

What happens if a driver does not pass?

The driver cannot operate a commercial vehicle until they meet the standards. Depending on the issue, they may get a shorter card after treatment or need a follow-up exam.

Can Rise track medical card expirations for our whole fleet?

Yes. Rise keeps each driver's medical certificate with their compliance records and sends a reminder before it expires.

The Problem

An Expired Medical Card Parks a Driver

Every commercial driver needs a current DOT medical card. Finding a certified examiner, getting the driver there, and tracking expiration dates across a whole fleet takes time most safety managers do not have. Miss one date and a driver is off the road until the exam is done.
