(CDL Medical Exam) Your input much appreciated

Many of us here are company drivers for large companies and don't dictate where we go for DOT physicals. Your best bet would be to get in contact with any companies in your area to see if you could contract business with them.

 

Flatbedn is correct. Any company of size let's say over 50 drivers will send their driver to the doctor they have an account set up with. That leaves you with all the newbies, small company drivers and the owner operators. Location and price are important. I know I always google and search out the cheapest doctor. Why pay $200 when you can get the same thing completed for $40 but I live in TN. CA would be a little higher. $60 is probably the lower end.

Another thing to consider is location. You won't draw many patients in a rural area. You want to be near population and the interstate. If you want to attract owner operators then it would be better if you could accommodate 1-2 trucks in your parking lot. Perhaps a strip mall or next to a truck stop. Living in CA they have many restricted truck routes so check this list...

If you want a steady flow of customers then hook up with a trucking company of size. Trucking has the highest turnover rate and large companies herd new drivers through like cattle.

 

For mine,I knew I was in fit shape,so it was all about the price.All were in the $60 range,so I went to Texas Med. since it was closest.

 

Company sends us to the dr. The place is for physical therapy and work injuries it's called concentra.

 

Does Concentra Check for Fat Necks and Suggest putting you in an oxygen tent?

 

yes and they will send you for sleep study
