Alright Reedley, let’s get honest for a second.
You’ve been grinding all year — early mornings, long hauls, school bus routes, produce deliveries, the whole thing. You’ve dealt with fog, heat, potholes, and at least five people who absolutely should not be allowed to merge.
But now, as we head into 2025, there’s something a whole lot less exciting than the holidays sneaking up on you:
Your DOT exam deadline.
Yep. That little medical certificate that decides whether or not you get to keep your CDL active. And before you tell yourself,
“I’ll do it next week,”
just know: next week is how drivers end up scrambling.
So if you’re a commercial driver in Reedley, this is your friendly — but urgent — reminder:
👉 It’s last call for your 2025 DOT exam. Book it now at Spring Endocrinology.
Let’s break it all down before the calendar flips and your certification goes poof.
If you're new to this or pretending you’re new because you forgot how it all works, here’s the quick version:
A DOT (Department of Transportation) physical exam is a federally required medical evaluation for anyone operating a commercial motor vehicle, including:
Truck drivers
Bus drivers
Class A CDL holders
Drivers transporting passengers
Anyone driving big, heavy equipment around the Valley
The exam ensures you’re physically capable of handling long hours, heavy loads, and unpredictable road conditions without putting yourself — or others — at risk.
Vision
Hearing
Blood pressure
Heart health
Lung function
Urinalysis
Neurological function
Medical conditions like diabetes or sleep apnea
It’s not a fitness test. No one’s asking you to run laps behind the clinic. It’s simply making sure you’re safe and ready for 2025.
Here’s the thing about DOT medical certificates:
They expire,
They don’t send you a reminder text,
And DOT does not accept “I forgot” as a medical excuse.
If your certificate expires:
You can’t legally drive
Your employer can’t dispatch you
Your CDL can actually be downgraded
And you’re stuck dealing with paperwork instead of earning money
That’s not how you want to kick off 2025.
This is why we’re telling you now — before January hits like a freight train — to book your DOT exam early.
DOT exams are not all created equal.
Some clinics rush you.
Some make you wait forever.
Some look at you like you’re an inconvenience.
Not here.

Diabetes
High blood pressure

Weight concerns
Medications they’re unsure about

We're not just checking your vitals — we understand the bigger picture.

No three-hour waiting room.
No mysterious delays.
No rushed five-minute exam where they barely look at you.
