What is a DOT exam?
DOT stands for Department of Transportation. The Department of Transportation requires a medical examination to make sure you qualify to drive a commercial vehicle in the state of Idaho and throughout the United States.
Upon satisfactory completion of your exam, you will receive a copy of the long form exam and your certification. We will forward a copy directly to the local Department of Transportation office for you. You should carry your 8-1/2" x 11" paper certificate with you at all times while driving your company vehicle, and your employer will want to take a copy for their files as well. DOT certificates are typically issued for 2 years, however, 1 year certificates are given for patients with certain health risks.
Dr. Collin Struble DC CME is a Chiropractic Physician , as well as a Federally Certified Medical Examiner (CME) dedicated to helping you with your DOT/CDL exam. He appreciates the chance to help you with your DOT exam each year, and offers same day chiropractic adjustments to accomodate you while you're here and to give you relief from pain associated with the job of being on the road. It's best to call for an appointment, but we are happy to help with walk-ins and same day appointments if needed.
We accept cash or credit card for payment, and will provide you with a receipt for tax purposes or for reimbursement by your employer.
This is what you can expect during your examination:
1. Forms: We will provide a medical examination form for you to complete. We will also take a copy of your driver's license for verification.

- VISION: You will be asked to read a vision chart to assure that you are able to see traffic signs and signals.
- HEARING: Please clean your ears before your visit so that Dr. Collin can examine your eardrums.
- BLOOD PRESSURE: Your blood pressure must meet state guidelines.
- URINE: You will be asked to urinate in a cup so that the doctor can check levels for blood sugar, protein, blood and specific gravity for evidence of underlying health issues. Make sure to drink plenty of water prior to your exam. This is not a drug test. If you are required to get a drug test, there are local offices that can do that for you.
