DOT Physicals in Peoria
The U.S. Department of Transportation requires that anyone applying for or renewing a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) must pass a DOT exam at least every two years. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration mandates the physical exam (FMCSA) for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. A DOT physical helps determine if a driver is physically, mentally, and emotionally fit to operate a CMV.

If you need a DOT physical, you no longer have to visit your primary care physician or go to a busy and inconvenient downtown location. Just come to Absolute Wellness instead. Dr. Kelch has gone through the federal certification process to perform same-day DOT physicals in our conveniently located practice that’s near the interstate.
What to Bring
- Your valid driver’s license or other photo ID.

- A hearing aid, if applicable.
- A list of medications, and the prescribing physician’s name and contact information.
- A medical release opinion letter from your primary doctor or specialist for any medical conditions being treated, or any recent illness, injury or surgery.

What to Expect
We follow all guidelines and protocols set in place by the DOT. You’ll come in, fill out the paperwork, and have your exam. After your exam, Dr. Kelch will send your results electronically to the National DOT Registry. You will be given copies of your DOT Medical Exam Report and DOT Medical Card. Without your medical card, you could lose your CDL.
