    I am checking on a school to attend and they said I need a DOT physical and I also seen that you can get one at a Kroger store with a clinic or a CVS drugstore.
    Anyone have info ???

    Also what should I expect during the physical ?

    Thanks

    Make sure its a DOT physical and you get a medical card. Depends on the doctor what to expect. Some are more invasive than others lol.

    I didn't realize CVS did physicals , but I have lived in South Korea for 14 years lol
    Do you need an appointment ?
    Do you remember the price ?
    Do they also do a drug test there or is it somewhere else ?

    Thanks

    I just walked in so I'm not sure if you can make an appointment or not.

    Cost was $109.
    I didn't get a drug test from them and am unsure if they even do them...

    You can go online and check to make sure one of the local CVS in your area do CDL Physical. Not every location does them.

    Oh, oh, that's where the trouble starts,,:oops: I can hear it now,,,"Stockboy to aisle 6 for DOT exam",,,I think I'd find a more reputable place for a DOT exam than CVS or Kroger.

    In 13 years of having a CDL it's by far the easiest DOT exam I've had to take. I'm not interested in going in to a place and having to strip down and have someone feeling on my nut sack like I've had at previous exams.

    To each his own.
