Call before you drive out. The National Registry lists who is certified, not when they work. Hours, walk-in policy and the exam price are set by the clinic, and DOT exams are often limited to certain days.

What to expect here

Walk-in or same-day appointments, evening and weekend hours are common, and DOT exams are routine business here.

The certified examiner here is a physician assistant. They can perform the exam and issue your medical certificate. FMCSA does not require a physician.
