DOT Physicals in Tooele, UT

Get certified without leaving your doctor’s office

When it’s time for your DOT physical

If you drive a commercial motor vehicle for a living, you already know the DOT physical is part of the job. What you might not know is that you don’t have to drive to an urgent care clinic across town or wait in line at a walk-in occ-med center to get it done.

At Bonneville Family Practice, your DOT physical is performed by the same certified medical examiner (CME) who already knows your health history. Call 435.248.0333 to schedule your DOT physical.

What happens during a DOT physical

A DOT physical is a health screening required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for anyone operating a commercial motor vehicle. It’s designed to confirm that a driver is physically, mentally, and emotionally fit to handle a CMV safely.

A CME performs your exam and includes a review of your health history along with a hands-on evaluation of your:
  • General appearance
  • Vision and hearing
  • Heart and lungs
  • Blood pressure and pulse
  • Extremities and range of motion
  • Mouth and throat
  • Nervous system and reflexes
  • Back and spine
Once your exam is complete, your CME reports the results to the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME). If you pass, you’ll walk out with your Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MEC) in hand.

Why Tooele Valley drivers choose Bonneville Family Practice

  • One clinic: Your DOT physical happens at the same practice as your primary care.
  • Your CME already has your chart: Conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or sleep apnea that require documentation are usually on file.
  • Local scheduling: You’re booking with a clinic’s front desk in Tooele instead of a national chain’s appointment line.
  • Built for working drivers: Whether you’re hauling for a mine or running a ranch operation, we know a DOT card that lapses is time off the road you can’t afford.
Bonneville Family Practice providers who perform DOT physicals are certified through the FMCSA National Registry, so your exam and certificate meet current federal requirements.

What to bring to your appointment

  • Photo ID
  • A list of current medications and dosages
  • Glasses, contacts, or hearing aids you normally wear
  • Documentation for any existing conditions relevant to driving fitness (e.g., CPAP compliance records for sleep apnea or a cardiologist’s clearance letter for heart conditions)
  • Your current DOT medical card, if you’re renewing
A doctor at Bonneville Family Practice holds a stethoscope, ready to provide medical care and support to patients.

Jessica listened attentively to my concerns and demonstrated interest and compassion as well as a strong desire to dig into reasons for issues. In spite of having a full schedule I was not rushed but was given individualized importance. I am thankful to have her accept me as a patient.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on your cargo and vehicle weight, as well as the route you are driving. Utah generally follows FMCSA intrastate rules, but certain exemptions apply to agricultural and short-haul operations. Bring your specific route and vehicle details to your visit, and we’ll confirm what applies to you.
Most drivers are certified for up to 24 months, but your CME may issue a shorter certification if you have a condition that needs closer monitoring, such as high blood pressure or diabetes.

A few things could happen. You may be:

  • Certified for a shorter period
  • Referred for further evaluation
  • Denied certification until a condition is addressed
     

Your CME will explain exactly what’s needed and can often recheck you once it’s resolved.

Yes. You don’t need to be an existing patient to schedule a DOT physical. Many drivers start with the physical and decide later whether they’d like Bonneville as their regular family practice.
