DOT Physical Exam
-
At Rapid DOT, we have a simple 3-step process that keeps things moving efficiently.
First, when you arrive for your appointment, you'll complete the necessary paperwork (this can also be complete beforehand). Next, you'll be taken into the exam room where you'll meet with our DOT-certified medical examiner.
The DOT physical exam will include a review of your health history and medications as well as a hands-on medical evaluation. The medical exam portion will evaluate your blood pressure, pulse, vision, hearing, heart, lungs, back/spine, arms/extremities and overall well-being.
Upon successful completion of the physical, your DOT doctor will sign all the necessary paperwork including your brand new laminated DOT medical card. You information will be updated in the National Registry (note: Lynn CDL holders will still need to complete the self-certification through the MassRMV - more below).
-
A DOT medical card is required for any commercial driver who operates a vehicle with a gross weight of 10,000 pounds or more. This applies to all commercial driver's license (CDL) holders as well as non-CDL holders including hoisting/hydraulic operators, box truck drivers, commercial bus drivers, limousine drivers, and others.
Drivers of vehicles designed to transport more than 15 people (or 8 people when there is compensation) or hazardous material are also required to maintain a valid DOT medical card.
-
In Lynn (and all of Massachusetts), all DOT exams must be performed by a provider certified through and listed on the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners. In Lynn, MA, medical doctors (MDs), doctors of osteopathy (DOs), chiropractors (DCs), advanced practice nurses (APN) and physician’s assistants (PAs) are eligible to become “DOT doctors.” All providers at Rapid DOT Physicals are certified to provide “legit and official” DOT exams.

To avoid any delay in receiving a new DOT medical card, you'll want to bring a few things to your appointment, including (if applicable):
>Driver's license (or other form of photo ID)
>Glasses or contacts
>Hearing aids
>A full bladder (for the basic urinalysis)
>Current medication list
>Most recent Ha1C (if a diabetic)
>Form MCSA-5870 if an insulin- dependent diabetic
>CPAP compliance log (last 90 days, if diagnosed with sleep apnea)
>Recent tests results and clearance letter from your cardiologist and/or neurologist (if you have a history of heart disease, stroke, seizures or other neurological disorders),
>Last 12 months of INR readings (if you are prescribed a blood thinner).
-
If you are a CDL holder in Lynn, MA, you are also required to submit a copy of your valid DOT medical card to the MassRMV. This process is commonly referred to the CDL self-certification and can be completed online or via mail.
As a courtesy we do offer to complete the CDL self certification on the behalf of Lynn drivers for an additional $20 administration fee. We are able to provide instant confirmation of your self-certification submission.

Call us today to schedule your exam. We charge $90 for a DOT physical but offer a discounted prepay rate of $79 for those individuals who want to prepay for their appointments online or over the phone. All transactions are safe and secure and refundable up to 12 hours before the appointment time. Prepaid appointments can be rescheduled at any time without loss of payment.
