Question 1

How long does the exam take?

Accepted Answer

Most DOT physicals take about 20–30 minutes. If you have additional health documentation to review, it may take slightly longer.

Question 2

When will I get my Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MEC)?

Accepted Answer

As long as you meet FMCSA requirements, you’ll receive your MEC card the same day.

Question 3

What if I have high blood pressure or diabetes?

Accepted Answer

You may still be qualified, but your certificate might be limited to a shorter term (e.g., one year). Bring recent lab results, medication lists, and blood pressure logs if available. These diagnoses are not automatic disqualifiers, and many drivers operate CMV's with these diagnoses when managed correctly.

Question 4

Do you report my results to my employer?

Accepted Answer

We provide you with your MEC card, and — with your consent — we can send the results to your employer to keep their records up to date.

Question 5

Can you come to our yard or terminal?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we specialize in on-site services. We can set up at your location to minimize downtime and keep your drivers compliant.

Question 6

How do we schedule a group exam day?

Accepted Answer

Contact us with your preferred dates and estimated number of drivers. We’ll create a schedule, send reminders, and handle the logistics.

Question 7

Do you offer drug and alcohol testing too?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we provide pre-employment, random, post-accident, and return-to-duty testing with full chain-of-custody.

Question 8

Can you help us track expiration dates?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we offer compliance reporting and reminders so you stay ahead of expiring MEC cards.

Question 9

What areas do you service?

Accepted Answer

We currently serve South Carolina and North Carolina. For locations outside this area, reach out — we may be able to accommodate special requests.

Question 10

What do I need to bring to my DOT physical?

Accepted Answer

Bring your driver’s license, glasses or contacts if you wear them, a list of medications, and any medical records related to conditions like diabetes, sleep apnea, or heart disease.
