By Robert Sullivan


The Department of Transportation requires commercial motor vehicle drivers to do regular physical examinations. When you do such physical examination, you will be a given a health card for it. The federal law put out this law in order for the drivers to be safe while on the road and to lessen road accidents.

One must comply this if you do not want to be charge by the law. DOT Health Card newbies are usually worried during their first into the physical examination thinking that they may do something that could lead into failing. Below are guides to follow to ace the examination.

Avoid cold drinks like energy drink and alcohols. Avoid drinking some 24 hours before the exam. Products like these has ingredients that could raise up your blood pressure. Even though you have a normal blood pressure it might raise up into a level where in you are considered high blood and you would not want to take that risk.

Get the exact amount of sleep. Sleep is very important in your body as it repairs any damages while you are sleeping. Also, sleeping a good amount makes your day a lot brighter which will put you into good condition. Since you were able to sleep correctly, you will be in a great mood and could add the chance of passing the health examination.

When you were not able to get a good sleep chances are you may wake up late the next day. Now, this may cause for you to become late with the appointment. If this happens, chances are you will get tired and stress and you would not want that during your vision and hearing tests.

For individuals who have medications to drink every day, drink it up the minute you wake up. This helps the medicine to dissolve in your body before the appointment. This is an important matter especially to those maintaining for diabetes and high blood. Bring these medications during the DOT exam for the doctor to see.

Prepare the test by showering and cleaning yourself up on that day. You have to look great and smell great to impress the doctor. There will be a hygiene test and you would like to make sure you pass that. Wear neat and clean clothes too and spray some perfume or a bit of cologne.

In the morning and the night before, eat only small portions of food. Eat those veggies and fruits. Never eat a lot because this might cause your sugar level to go up. During the urine test, those sugar will go down and could get you into failing. Bringing your letter from the doctor if you have an illness is also recommended.

Most importantly, show your good attitude by simply treating the staff nicely. A doctor might kick you out of the medical room if you disrespect the staffs. Surely, you are not the only one in the clinic or hospital and there is probably a line with other people waiting for their turn as well. Be patient, you will get your turn.
