What Is a DOT Physical?
A DOT physical is a required medical exam for commercial motor vehicle drivers, regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. This exam is designed to ensure that drivers are physically and mentally able to safely operate a commercial vehicle.
At Lansing Urgent Care, we perform DOT physicals to evaluate your overall health, vision, hearing, and medical history. The goal is to confirm that you meet federal safety standards and are fit to be on the road.
If you hold a commercial driver’s license, you are considered a safety sensitive employee. Completing and passing your DOT physical is required to maintain your certification and continue driving legally.
Certified Medical Examiners You Can Trust
DOT physicals must be performed by certified medical examiners who are listed on the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners. These providers are specially trained to follow strict federal guidelines when evaluating commercial drivers.
At Lansing Urgent Care, our experienced medical team includes certified examiners who understand DOT requirements and complete exams efficiently and accurately. We stay up to date with current regulations so you can feel confident your exam is done right the first time.
Our goal is to make the process simple, fast, and stress free while helping you stay compliant with all DOT regulations.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A DOT PHYSICAL
During your DOT physical at Lansing Urgent Care, our certified medical examiners will review your health history, check vital signs, and perform a complete physical exam. This includes vision and hearing checks, cardiovascular evaluation, and overall physical health assessment to ensure you meet DOT standards.
If you meet all requirements, you will receive your medical examiner certificate, also known as your DOT medical card, so you can stay on the road without interruption.
✔ General appearance
✔ Eyes
✔ Ears
✔ Mouth and throat
✔ Heart
✔ Lungs and chest
✔ Extremities
✔ Nervous system
✔ Hernias

If you meet all DOT requirements, you will receive a Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MEC), also known as your DOT medical card. This certification is required to maintain your commercial driver’s license.
Without a valid DOT medical card, you may not be eligible to operate a commercial vehicle.
As of 2023, drivers with insulin treated diabetes or monocular vision must meet updated certification guidelines. Required documentation for these conditions must be completed at least 45 days prior to your DOT physical.
Who Needs a DOT Physical?
You are required to complete a DOT physical if you operate a commercial motor vehicle in interstate commerce and meet any of the following conditions:
• Your vehicle has a gross vehicle weight rating over 10,000 pounds
• You transport more than 15 passengers
• You are paid to transport more than 8 passengers
• You transport hazardous materials that require placarding

I was in and out in under 45 minutes, back home in under a hour feeling relief. The receptionist was kind, patient and efficient, The medical assistant was a joy and listened intently, she was born for the medical field. Finally the person who handled my discharge was clear with follow up instructions and very pleasant. 10/10 for everyone today, thank you! Finally, Angela was the perfect balance of problem solver and empathetic human.
"This has always been my go to place when I’m dealing with a potential sinus infection. I love that you can check in online ahead of time and not have a long wait. It’s such a clean facility, and everyone I have seen there over the years has always been very kind and professional. Highly recommend this place!"
Great experience 3 different times here for myself, and my kids! Not only has it been fast and efficient, they are finding new ways to help by adding some meds available from them immediately! I didn't have to cart my sick son around to the pharmacy after going to the doctor. Highly recommend these folks!!
