Looking to get your commercial drivers’ license? AFC Urgent Care Shelton can help you out!
Our walk-in urgent care center administers DOT physicals seven days a week for drivers looking to get their CDL. To get your CDL, you have to complete a physical examination ever two years to measure your ability to properly drive and operate a commercial vehicle.
Requirements include:
- Vision must be 20/40 correctable in each eye and combined, with or without correction
- Ability to determine the difference between the colors of traffic lights
- Ability to hear a forced whisper at a distance of at least 5 feet
- Controlled blood pressure according to the FMCSA guidelines
- Blood sugar must be no higher than 200, and will need a waiver if on insulin
- No indication of substance abuse
- If diagnosed with diabetes, sleep apnea, vision problems, or cardiac problems, an exemption may be required, which should be brought with you to the medical exam
