PHYSICALS

FMCSA Certification

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) certification is now required of all medical examiners performing DOT physicals, and this helps ensure better uniformity of medical standards for Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) drivers. It is an important step in enhancing CMV driver safety and reducing fatalities on our nation’s highways.
