DOT Physical Exam

Federal laws require everyone applying for a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) to pass a Department of Transportation Physical Exam. This test determines whether a person’s physical health is good enough to operate a vehicle in a safe manner. If you pass the exam, the result will last up to 2 years before you have to renew the documentation. Our facilities at AFC Urgent Care Haverhill can perform the DOT Physical Exam and further assist you with completing the required documents.
