Dr. Todd Custer of Better Care Chiropractic Offers DOT Physicals to Professional Drivers in Willis, TX

Anyone who is participating in a business venture and has a vehicle or vehicles which meet the definition of a commercial motor vehicle must have a USDOT number. In order to obtain this USDOT number, drivers are required to complete a DOT physical exam. The objective of a DOT physical exam is to evaluate whether or not a driver is healthy enough to operate a commercial vehicle. At Better Care Chiropractic, Dr. Todd Custer is FMCSA National Registry Certified and can provide same-day appointments to patients if needed.

A driver with health issues like sleep apnea, diabetes, poor vision and high blood pressure could be hazardous if their medical conditions become unmanageable while driving. The job of a DOT physical is to keep unsafe commercial vehicle drivers off the road, making a safer road for everyone. During the examination, Dr. Todd Custer will review the patient’s health history, conduct a thorough physical examination, and run a urine screen test to check for the onset of possible disqualifying medical conditions.

To prepare for your appointment it is suggested that the patient wear loose clothing and continue taking prescribed medications as usual. The patient should also bring with them a valid driver’s license as well as eye glasses or contact lenses. In addition, if you recently had an eye exam it would be helpful, but not necessary, to bring that exam report with you. It will also be beneficial to bring a working hearing aid, if applicable and a list of prescribed medications.

Being prepared and knowing what to expect from your DOT physical can make all the difference.
