A DOT physical is a checkup that’s required for commercial vehicle drivers by the Federal Motor Carrier

Safety Administration (FMCSA). This exam makes sure you’re able to meet the physical requirements of your job.

This includes being able to tolerate the health risks posed by sitting for long periods of time.
