What happens if I fail my DOT physical?

If you do not meet a DOT standard, you may be temporarily disqualified until the issue is addressed. Common reasons drivers fall short include high blood pressure, uncontrolled diabetes, or vision and hearing limits. Often the fix is simple: a follow-up, a shorter-term card, or an updated prescription. Our examiners explain your options clearly and help you map out the next step back to certification at either Vitality Urgent Care location.
