DOT Physicals & Drug Screening
Crescent DOT Exams keeps drivers on the road. Our examiner is certified through the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME) for FMCSA, and we run DOT and non-DOT drug screening in the same building, so a driver can finish everything in one stop.
DOT physicals, done right
A DOT physical is a federal medical exam required for commercial drivers. Ours follows the FMCSA medical examination report step by step: vision, hearing, blood pressure, urinalysis, and a hands-on physical exam, finished with your medical examiner's certificate when you qualify.
Bring your completed driver health history, your current medication list, and corrective lenses or hearing aids if you use them. Drivers managing conditions like blood pressure, diabetes, or sleep apnea should bring recent readings or compliance reports; having paperwork ready is the difference between a same-visit certificate and a follow-up.

Urine drug screening
We provide urine drug screening for DOT and non-DOT purposes, using CLIA waived testing with strict chain of custody handling. That means every specimen is collected, sealed, documented, and tracked by the book, which is exactly what employers, courts, and federal regulations require.
Employers: we work with companies of every size for pre-employment, random, post-accident, and return-to-duty testing. Call us to set up an account or send a driver over the same day.
