Commercial drivers in the Hartford area can get their DOT physical at Ample Urgent & Primary Care, 10 Princeton St, West Hartford, CT 06110. Whether this is your first exam or a renewal, call (860) 838-8799 to confirm National Registry examiner availability and the records to bring.

What a DOT physical is

A DOT physical, sometimes called a CDL physical, checks whether a commercial driver meets the federal medical standards for safe driving. For a federal DOT exam the examiner must be listed on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's National Registry. If you meet the standards, the examiner completes a Medical Examiner's Certificate (Form MCSA-5876). It can be valid for up to 24 months; a shorter certificate may be issued to monitor a condition.

What the exam covers

  • Vision and hearing
  • Blood pressure and pulse
  • Urinalysis
  • Health history, including medications and prior conditions
  • A physical exam

What to bring

  • Your driver's license
  • Glasses, contacts or hearing aids if you use them
  • A current medication list
  • Relevant medical records or specialist letters, for example for diabetes, sleep apnea or heart conditions

Tell the office whether this is your first exam or a renewal and when your current certificate expires. Plan ahead of the expiration date so a scheduling delay does not take you off the road. Full preparation details are on the DOT physical West Hartford page.
