DOT Physical Examination Services in Glen Allen
DOT Approved Examiners. Results in Most Cases the Same Visit.
Fastest Labs of North Richmond provides DOT physical examination services in Glen Allen, VA, conducted by DOT approved medical examiners. With over a decade of experience in drug, alcohol, and DNA testing services, we’ve built our reputation on fast, accurate results in clean, comfortable facilities. Whether you’re a commercial driver renewing your medical certification or an employer keeping your fleet compliant, we make the process straightforward.
Federal regulations require employees under DOT-regulated agencies, including FMCSA, FAA, FRA, PHMSA, FTA, and USCG, to meet medical fitness standards. For commercial drivers under FMCSA, that means completing a DOT physical examination with a certified medical examiner listed on the FMCSA National Registry. We meet that standard, and we keep wait times under five minutes so you’re not losing hours out of your workday.
Schedule your DOT physical examination in Glen Allen online or call us at (804) 369-9421. Walk-ins are welcome.
What a DOT Physical Examination Includes
The examination covers six assessment areas, each designed to assess whether a commercial driver can safely operate large vehicles under federal standards.
The six components of a DOT physical examination:
- Vision and hearing tests to confirm adequate sensory function for safe driving
- Height and weight measurements to screen for conditions associated with body mass
- Blood pressure examination to detect hypertension that could impair alertness
- Pulse and breathing rate recording to assess cardiovascular and respiratory baseline
- Comprehensive urinalysis to screen for underlying conditions such as diabetes or kidney issues (distinct from a DOT drug test)
- Heart attack/stroke risk assessment to evaluate cardiovascular fitness for the demands of commercial driving
Our certified and approved medical examiners complete a thorough health assessment during your visit, and in most cases, the results of a physical examination are available immediately after the test is complete.

Who Needs a DOT Physical Examination
Employees working under DOT-regulated agencies may be subject to medical fitness requirements, including workers across FMCSA, FAA, FRA, PHMSA, FTA, and USCG. For commercial driver’s license-carrying employees specifically, maintaining valid medical certification through a DOT physical examination is a federal requirement.
Medical certification is generally valid for up to 24 months, though a certified and approved medical examiner may issue a certificate for a shorter period based on specific medical conditions. Staying current helps keep drivers legally on the road and employers compliant with federal transportation safety regulations.
