Yeah, that’s right. If you’re a Class A driver, trucker, bus driver, or hauling anything bigger than your neighbor’s ego, you know the deal. You’ve got to stay certified and road-ready. And that means taking care of your Department of Transportation physical exam—without the runaround.
So instead of dragging yourself through red tape or hunting down clinics that act like you’re asking for a kidney transplant, come see us at Spring Endocrinology. We're located in Fresno and proudly serving Parlier and the Central Valley with fast, certified DOT exams that get you back behind the wheel—with zero nonsense.
Let’s hit the gas and break this all down.
If you're holding a Class A commercial driver’s license (CDL) or applying for one, a DOT physical is the government's way of saying, “Hey, let’s make sure this person’s fit to drive 80,000 pounds of metal down the freeway.”
Fair enough.
A DOT physical is a federally mandated health exam required by the Department of Transportation to make sure commercial drivers are in good shape to operate large vehicles safely.
Vision and hearing
Blood pressure
Heart health
Respiratory health
Neurological function
Musculoskeletal health
Urinalysis for underlying conditions
You don’t need to be a bodybuilder—you just need to be healthy enough to drive without passing out, swerving, or blacking out on the 99.
And here’s the kicker: You can’t legally operate a commercial vehicle without it. So if your certificate is expired or you’re applying for a new job, this is your ticket to keep those wheels turning.
We get it. You’ve got deadlines, drop-offs, kids, traffic, tacos to pick up—life is busy. That’s why we’ve made our DOT exam process simple, fast, and painless.
Here’s what you can expect when you book with us:
We’re qualified to perform official DOT physical exams for Class A drivers and issue your Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MEC)—the little piece of paper that says “Yes, this person is good to go.”
We don’t believe in wasting your time. We know you’ve got routes to run, and your truck isn’t going to drive itself. Our team gets you in, out, and on your way—fast.
Located in Fresno, we’re just a quick drive from Parlier, and we serve all nearby communities with professional, friendly service you can trust.
Before you show up, here’s a quick checklist so you don’t have to turn around because you left something in your glove box:
Valid driver’s license
List of current medications
Glasses or hearing aids (if you use them)
Medical records related to any chronic conditions (like diabetes or heart issues)
CPAP machine logs (if you have sleep apnea)
The more prepared you are, the smoother your visit goes. We love efficiency—almost as much as you love that 15-minute food truck stop on your route.
Great question. The average exam takes about 30–45 minutes.
We’ll go through a checklist that includes:
Height and weight check
Vision and hearing test
Blood pressure and pulse check
Urine sample (for kidney function, not drugs—this ain't a parole office)
Physical exam by our certified medical provider
And if everything checks out? You’re good for up to two years. Sometimes it's less depending on specific medical conditions, but we’ll guide you through all of that.
Listen, nobody’s perfect. High blood pressure? Diabetes? Slight hearing loss from years of gear grinding and bass-heavy music? You're not alone.
Here’s the deal: Having a medical condition doesn’t automatically disqualify you from passing your DOT exam. It just means we might need to:
Get documentation from your specialist
Monitor your condition a little more closely
Adjust how often your exam needs to be renewed
The good news? We’re an endocrinology clinic, which means we know our way around diabetes, hypertension, thyroid issues, metabolic problems, and more. We’re not just checking boxes—we’re making sure you’re safe, healthy, and legal to drive.
Okay, first—don’t panic.
If something shows up during your DOT physical that could keep you off the road, we’ll work with you to get it fixed. That might mean:
Following up with your primary doctor
Managing a chronic condition more closely
Coming back for a recheck after treatment
We’re not here to be the bad guys. We’re here to help you stay certified—with honesty, integrity, and a no-BS approach.
Summer’s behind us. School’s back in session. The holiday rush is creeping up. This is the perfect window to get your DOT exam knocked out before things get crazy.
Whether you’re:
Starting a new driving job
Renewing your CDL
Applying for seasonal work
Preparing for long-haul contracts
Do it now. You’ll thank yourself when the end-of-year rush kicks in and everyone’s booked out for weeks.
Let’s do this, driver.
