About Dr. Cathrine Post, D.C.
Dr. Cathrine Post is an experienced chiropractor, but decided to devote her practice to offering D.O.T. physicals after her C.D.L.-licensed husband expressed frustration in finding a health practitioner who recognizes the unique challenges
of being a commercial driver.
Dr. Post earned her Doctorate of Chiropractic degree from Parker College in Dallas in 2002, earned her Bachelor of Arts from Rowan University, and is a federally-registered Certified Medical Examiner with the United States Department of Transportation.
"My business is focused on performing D.O.T. exams in a timely, efficient manner that meets all requirements. I focus every day on working with drivers to pass their physical. Above all else, I treat them with the utmost respect and professionalism."
What should I bring to my physical?
Please bring the following items - and be aware of these protocols - for your physical:
- Driver's license
- Drink water for the sugar and protein specimen test
- A current list of all medications
- Eyeglasses or contacts
- Hearing aids if needed
- CPAP users: Please bring a readout for the last 30 days
- A copy of your most recent stress test if you have a heart condition.
Is there a chance I might not pass my physical? What happens if I don't?
Some drivers are concerned that they will not pass their D.O.T. physical exam because they have a condition such as diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, or other ailment. The fact is that most health problems will not prevent you from passing a D.O.T. physical, as long as you are treating the issue. If you are concerned that you may not pass the D.O.T. physical, bring it to Dr. Post's attention. She will do everything possible to help, and give you the tools and guidance to address any health concerns you may have. She knows the unique demands placed on truckers and the importance of being in compliance with all regulations.
What should I expect at my visit?
1. Check in - You will complete some brief paperwork. Download and print the Medical Examination Report form to get started before your appointment, if possible. If not, Dr. Post will have a copy for you.
2. Examination - Dr. Post will perform an examination, which will include: a review of your health history, simple physical exams, which include exams to check vision, hearing, blood pressure, weight and urine sample (NOT a drug test).
3. Dr. Post will complete the rest of the medical form as appropriate so that you are in compliance. You will also be provided a copy of the form.
4. Make payment, unless other arrangements have been made in advance.
Who needs a D.O.T. physical exam?
Federal law requires most C.D.L. drivers to receive regular physicals. Medical examiners are trained to understand the requirements for a D.O.T. medical card. A D.O.T. medical card is valid for two years, but can be issued only for one year for drivers with certain health issues. Those who meet the following criteria are required to undergo physicals to obtain their card:
- Anyone operating a commercial vehicle with a combined gross vehicle weight of 10,000 pounds.
- Anyone operating a commercial vehicle and receiving compensation for transporting 9-15 passengers.
- Anyone transporting more than 15 people – regardless of whether they receive compensation or not.
- Anyone transporting hazardous materials requiring placarding.
