DOT and CDL physicals that keep the process moving.
Schedule a commercial driver medical exam with Dr. Zach Hansen at Mountain Movement Chiropractic. Individual appointments are available online, with qualifying on-site exams for local employers.
A straightforward medical certification exam for commercial drivers.
Interstate commercial drivers must complete a physical qualification examination with a certified medical examiner. The exam reviews the health factors connected to safely operating a commercial motor vehicle.
The examiner makes an individualized certification decision based on federal standards, your health history, examination findings, medications, and any required supporting documentation.
Come prepared and avoid unnecessary delays.
The DOT physical is not designed to replace your routine medical care. It is a safety-focused examination used to determine whether you meet commercial driver medical standards.
What to bring
Bring a valid photo ID, a current medication list, corrective lenses or hearing aids you use, and relevant records for ongoing medical conditions.
What is checked
The examination generally includes health history, vision, hearing, blood pressure and pulse, urinalysis, and a physical examination.
Possible outcomes
Certification length depends on the findings. Some drivers qualify for up to 24 months, while others need shorter monitoring or additional information.
Built for drivers who cannot afford wasted time.
Mountain Movement keeps the appointment focused while following the same FMCSA standards required of every certified examiner.
A certification cannot be guaranteed before the examination.
The medical examiner must apply federal standards and may need additional records, testing, or follow-up before making a final determination.

How long does a DOT physical take?
Most appointments take about 20 to 30 minutes when the medical history is complete and the driver brings the necessary documents.
Can a chiropractor perform a DOT physical?
Yes. A chiropractor may perform interstate commercial driver examinations when licensed within their scope of practice and certified through the FMCSA National Registry. Dr. Hansen is a certified medical examiner.
What should I bring?
Bring a valid photo ID, medication list, glasses or contacts, hearing aids, and relevant medical records. Additional forms or reports may be needed for specific conditions.
Does everyone receive a two-year certificate?
No. Two years is the maximum standard period for many drivers, but the examiner may issue a shorter certificate, request more information, place the exam in a pending status, or determine that the standards are not met.
Can my employer schedule on-site exams?
Yes, when at least five exams are scheduled together and the company is located within 50 miles of Spearfish. Contact the office to coordinate the date and logistics.
