DOT Physical Exams for the Greenville, SC, Area
What is the DOT Physical Exam?
The Department of Transportation (DOT) physical is a mandated exam by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). If you’re a commercial driver, you’re required to pass this examination for the safety of yourself and the public. If you don’t pass the DOT physical, your driver’s license will be deemed invalid by the FMCSA. If you need a DOT exam in the Greenville, SC, area, contact Hun Chiropractic today!
The DOT examination is pretty comprehensive. One of our trained specialists will check your vitals, consider your medical history, and of course, perform a physical exam. During this exam, your eyes, ears, mouth, heart, lungs, nervous system, back, spine, and occasionally other areas will be examined. Upon completion and in the event you pass, you will receive a DOT Medical Card (MEC). This card is what will ensure the validity of your driver’s license to perform your job.
