Navigating DOT compliance in New York City’s transportation sector can be complicated for NYC employers. With strict regulations and the fast-paced nature of the city, ensuring that your drivers meet all Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements is crucial for continuing operations and keeping roads safe.
Mobile Health offers a comprehensive solution that makes managing DOT compliance both efficient and stress-free. With our streamlined NYC DOT physicals, advanced technology and multiple clinic locations, it’s never been easier to keep your drivers compliant.
What Are DOT Physicals & Why Are They Required?
DOT physicals are mandatory health exams that all commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers must pass to ensure they are medically fit to operate a vehicle safely. Required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), these physicals help prevent accidents caused by medical conditions that could impair a driver’s ability to perform their duties. Drivers are required to pass this exam before receiving their Commercial Driver’s License (CDL).
For businesses in NYC’s transportation sector, maintaining up-to-date DOT physicals for all drivers is not just about legal compliance, it’s also about safety. Non-compliance can lead to serious repercussions, from hefty fines to increased liability in the event of an accident.
What Is Included In A DOT Physical?
DOT physical exams cover a range of health checks, including vision and hearing tests, blood pressure monitoring, urinalysis, and a comprehensive physical exam.
Some NYC employers may require a 5-panel drug test in addition to the usual exams in a DOT physical. Mobile Health can seamlessly integrate 5-panel drug tests in our DOT physical exams, streamlining the process for NYC employers.

Effortless DOT Record-Keeping
Our advanced Client Portal provides employers with real-time updates on each driver’s exam status, instant access to DOT medical cards, and secure storage of all relevant documentation.
