Once you schedule an appointment, please keep the following things in mind before arriving for your appointment:

  • Urinalysis: You will be required to provide a urine specimen. Please be sure to drink plenty of water before your appointment.

  • Blood Pressure: Please avoid smoking one hour before your appointment as smoking can increase your blood pressure. Your blood pressure must be below 140/90 to pass your exam.

  • Heart Disease: If you have a history of heart attack, stents, angioplasty, or angina, please bring a clearance letter from your cardiologist, stating you can safely operate a commercial motor vehicle. You may also be required to provide a copy of exercise stress test and/or echocardiogram results completed within the last two years.

  • Diabetes Treated with Insulin: If you take insulin for diabetes, please bring the “Insulin-Treated Diabetes Mellitus Assessment Form” (MCSA-5870) completed by your treating health care provider.

  • Sleep Apnea: Please bring a CPAP compliance report printed by your CPAP machine provider or sleep specialist that shows you are using your CPAP for a minimum of four hours nightly at least 70% of the nights. This report must show your CPAP use within the 30 days prior to your exam.

  • Stroke/TIA/Seizure/Brain Injury: Many individuals with a history of these neurological problems cannot qualify for a dDOT Medical Certificate. You may bring a statement from a neurologist indicating that you can safely operate a commercial motor vehicle.  This will be taken into consideration, but will not guarantee approval.
