Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) exams
Ensuring safety on the roads is paramount, especially for professionals operating commercial vehicles. At UT Health East Texas Physicians, we recognize the significance of maintaining high standards of health and fitness for drivers, which is why we offer Texas Department of Transportation (TDOT) physical exams.
A TxDOT physical is a health examination mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. A TxDOT physical helps determine if a driver is physically, mentally and emotionally fit to operate a CMV. If you are a commercial driver, for your safety and the public’s safety, FMCSA requires you to complete and pass a DOT physical to maintain a valid commercial driver’s license (CDL). You are required to complete and pass a DOT physical if you:
- Are paid to operate a motor vehicle designed to carry more than eight people.
- Operate a motor vehicle for interstate commerce with a gross combination weight rating, gross vehicle weight rating or gross combination weight of over 10,000 pounds.
- Operate a motor vehicle designed to carry more than 15 people.
- Transport hazardous materials that required your vehicle to be placarded.
The CME will issue you a medical examiner’s certificate (MEC) – also called a DOT medical card – when you meet the DOT physical requirements. Department of Transportation physical exams cost $100.
What to expect during your TxDOT exam
During a TxDOT physical, a certified medical examiner (CME) will check your vital signs, review your medical history and perform a required hands-on physical examination that includes, but is not limited to the following:
- Back and spine
- Ears
- Extremities
- Eyes
- General appearance
- Heart
- Hernias
- Lungs and chest
- Mouth and throat
- Nervous system
UT Health East Texas Physicians has locations across East Texas for your convenience. Our providers follow the specific guidelines of the FMCSA to ensure that commercial drivers are in satisfactory health and able to work safely.
