Professional Medical Screening for New Hires

Getting qualified employees to work quickly is vital for business success. Road Ready Mobile DOT provides pre-employment physical exams to help employers ensure candidates are medically fit to safely perform job-related duties.

Exams are efficient, professional, and can be completed on-site during orientation or by appointment with same-day results.

Pre-Employment Physical Exams

What Are Pre-Employment Physical Examinations?

Pre-employment physical examinations help employers verify that job candidates are medically fit to safely perform their job duties. These exams are customized based on the physical demands of the position and employer requirements. Pre-employment exams are non-DOT unless specifically requested by the employer for positions requiring DOT compliance.

What's Included in a Pre-Employment Exam

Our comprehensive pre-employment physical examinations are tailored to meet employer specifications and ensure candidates can safely perform job-related tasks.

Medical History Review

  • Complete health background assessment
  • Current medications and treatments
  • Previous injuries or conditions relevant to job duties

Physical Examination & Vital Signs

  • Blood pressure monitoring
  • Heart rate assessment
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) calculation
  • Physical evaluation based on specific job requirements
  • Assessment of physical capabilities for job tasks

Vision and Hearing Screening (if required)

  • Distance and peripheral vision testing
  • Hearing acuity assessment
  • Performed based on employer or job requirements

Additional Testing & Documentation

  • Drug screening if requested separately

Adding Medical Exams to Your Hiring Process

Smart hiring requires well-timed, clear medical screening steps, scheduling exams after job offers but before final hiring. Mobile commercial driver pre-employment exams eliminate travel and scheduling issues, making the process more convenient and helping secure top candidates.

Timing

  • Make job offers conditional on passing required medical exams and drug tests.
  • This protects both you and candidates while following ADA rules.

Scheduling

  • Work with mobile providers to match testing dates with your timeline.
  • Road Ready Mobile DOT offers flexible hours, including evenings and weekends.

Records

  • Set clear steps for getting, storing, and using exam results.
  • Mobile services give immediate pass/fail updates for quick decisions.

Communication

  • Keep candidates informed about exam requirements and next steps.
  • Clear expectations reduce stress and improve completion rates.

Medical Standards and Qualification

Commercial driver pre-employment exams ensure highway safety by identifying health risks while allowing qualified candidates with managed conditions to pass.

Vision and Hearing

  • Most vision problems with glasses or contacts meet standards
  • Significant hearing loss may need extra evaluation

Sleep Problems

  • Sleep apnea needs treatment documentation
  • CPAP users must show consistent usage patterns

Heart Health

  • Blood pressure below 140/90 gets two-year certificates
  • Controlled high blood pressure between 140/90 and 160/100 may get shorter certificates with monitoring

Diabetes

  • Insulin-dependent diabetes needs specialist review and may qualify for exemption programs
  • Well-managed non-insulin diabetes typically doesn't disqualify drivers

When Candidates Don't Pass Initial Exams

When candidates fail their pre-employment physical exam, clear procedures ensure fairness while maintaining safety standards. The review process allows candidates to discuss results with medical review officers and provide additional documentation, since some conditions that appear disqualifying may be manageable. Temporary issues such as blood pressure adjustments, sleep apnea treatment, diabetes evaluations, or updated vision prescriptions are often correctable. Re-examination typically requires resolving the specific issue, with waiting periods commonly ranging from 30 to 90 days.

Compliance Records and Documentation

Employment medical screening requires thorough documentation to support regulatory compliance and audit readiness. FMCSA standards require that records remain updated and available for inspection. Digital storage solutions provide secure cloud access, privacy protection, and clear documentation during DOT audits. Clearinghouse integration ensures accurate reporting to federal databases, reducing administrative work while keeping driver qualification information current.

Managing Job Offers and Medical Clearance

Conditional job offers must be handled carefully to protect both the employer and candidate. Medical exams can only occur after these offers, ensuring hiring decisions are not based on health conditions and that all similarly qualified candidates undergo identical exam requirements. Proper timing and adherence to ADA rules safeguard your hiring process from liability. Clear communication between employers and medical examiners protects candidate privacy while providing necessary information. Road Ready Mobile DOT ensures secure, HIPAA-compliant reporting. Most new driver physicals provide same-day results, though additional evaluations may take longer. Maintaining records of exam orders, results, and accommodation discussions supports regulatory compliance and protects against potential disputes.
