All of these factors will inform your employer about whether you would make a safe driver. At Dodd Chiropractic Clinic, we perform DOT physicals for those who are interested in earning a commercial driver's license. In order to pass the DOT exam, you will need to know how to prepare and what not to do before the exam.
As a driver, you will want to turn in honest and accurate results for your DOT physical because not doing so could endanger the lives of those you encounter on the road. Driving should never be taken lightly due to its dangerous nature; this is particularly true for those who transport hefty commercial equipment. Let’s look at the main behaviors to avoid while preparing for a DOT exam:
If you try to hide any medical conditions while taking the exam, this will be grounds for disqualification. Be honest about your health standards, as it is important for the examiner and the employer to know whether any medical conditions could interfere with your ability to drive.
