Who Does DOT Physicals for Employers in Florida?

If you're a Florida-based business owner with commercial drivers on your payroll—or you contract with CDL drivers—you’ve likely asked yourself: Who can perform DOT physicals for employers? Whether you're in logistics, construction, delivery services, or school transportation, maintaining FMCSA compliance is non-negotiable. This article answers the most common questions employers ask about scheduling DOT exams for their teams—especially when convenience and compliance are key.

What is a DOT physical for and why do employers need them?

A DOT (Department of Transportation) physical is a medical exam required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. It ensures that drivers are healthy and physically capable of safely operating a commercial vehicle.

For employers, DOT exams are critical for:

• Keeping drivers legally certified to work

• Avoiding costly fines and delays

• Reducing the risk of accidents or liability

• Supporting employee health and safety

Who is allowed to perform DOT exams in Florida?

Only FMCSA-certified medical examiners listed on the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME) can legally perform DOT physicals. This includes:

• Medical doctors (MD)

• Doctors of osteopathy (DO)

• Physician assistants (PA)

• Advanced practice registered nurses (APRN)

• Chiropractors (DC)

Our certified medical examiner at Harmony Health Clinic is fully licensed in Florida and nationally registered with the FMCSA, making us legally qualified to perform DOT exams statewide.

Can DOT physicals be done on-site at a company’s location?

Yes! And this is often the best option for businesses with multiple drivers. We provide mobile CDL medical exam services throughout Florida. We travel to your location—whether you're in Naples, Tampa, Orlando, Miami, or Jacksonville—to perform group DOT physicals for:

• Trucking fleets

• School bus companies

• Construction crews

• Municipal utility departments

• Delivery and logistics companies

• Transit contractors

This saves you time, keeps your drivers on the road, and eliminates the hassle of scheduling off-site appointments.

What does the mobile DOT physical include?

Each physical exam follows FMCSA regulations and includes:

• Medical history review

• Vision and hearing tests

• Blood pressure and pulse

• Urinalysis (for kidney function, not drugs)

• Physical exam of body systems

If the driver passes, they’ll receive a valid DOT Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MEC)—also known as a medical card—on the spot. We also provide digital copies and keep secure records for company compliance.

What are the benefits of choosing a mobile DOT provider?

Choosing a mobile DOT provider like Harmony Health Clinic offers several business advantages:

• Minimized downtime – Drivers don’t have to leave the work site

• Group scheduling – Ideal for fleets or onboarding multiple drivers

• Trusted medical care – We go beyond the checklist to help drivers stay well

How much does a mobile DOT physical cost for companies?

Pricing depends on:

• Number of drivers being examined

• Location of your business

• Any custom reporting or forms required

We offer volume-based discounts for group exams, and most employers find that mobile services are cost-effective when factoring in saved driver time and reduced transportation needs.
