Secure Your DOT & Immigration Physical Before Year-End—Slots Are Filling Fast!

As 2025 approaches, commercial drivers and individuals needing immigration physicals face increased demand for appointments. At Metro Medical Associates, we urge you to book your DOT and immigration physicals early—year-end slots are filling up quickly.

Why Are DOT Physicals Important?

A DOT physical is mandatory for anyone operating a commercial motor vehicle, including:

  • Drivers of vehicles over 10,001 pounds
  • Passenger carriers (over 15 passengers, or paid to carry more than eight)
  • Hazardous materials transporters
  • CDL holders crossing state lines with vehicles rated at 10,000 pounds or more

 

This exam ensures you meet the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) health standards, keeping you and others safe on the road.

What to Expect in Your DOT Physical

A DOT physical at Metro Medical Associates includes:

  • Medical history review: Bring a list of current medications and relevant medical records.
  • Physical exam: Eyes, ears, heart, lungs, abdomen, spine, joints, and neurological system are checked.
  • Vision & hearing tests: Minimum 20/40 vision (with or without correction) and the ability to hear a forced whisper at five feet.
  • Blood pressure & pulse: Should be 140/90 or lower for an unrestricted certificate.
  • Urinalysis: Screens for diabetes or kidney issues (not a drug test).

2025 DOT Physical Updates: What’s New?

Starting June 23, 2025, the FMCSA is streamlining the DOT physical process:

  • Medical examiners will submit your results electronically to the FMCSA by midnight of the next day.
  • The FMCSA will send your results directly to your state’s licensing agency, updating your motor vehicle record automatically.
  • No more carrying or mailing paper certificates—your certification status is updated digitally.

 

Missing your DOT physical deadline can result in license suspension or costly penalties. Book your appointment now to avoid last-minute stress and ensure compliance.

Immigration Physicals: Don’t Delay

If you need an immigration physical, early booking is just as crucial. These exams are required for many visa and green card applications, and processing times can increase as the year ends.
