Walk-In Service — Don't Lose Drive Time

Letting your DOT certificate expire means you can’t legally drive a commercial vehicle until you’re recertified. With PACS Urgent Care’s walk-in availability, you can renew your certification on a day off without disrupting your dispatch schedule.

The DOT physical includes a full medical history review, vital signs, vision and hearing screening, blood pressure check, urinalysis, and a comprehensive physical exam covering FMCSA’s qualification standards. Drivers with controlled conditions like diabetes or sleep apnea are evaluated to FMCSA standards.

Bring your CDL, current eyeglasses or contacts, hearing aids if used, a list of current medications, and any documentation of medical conditions like sleep apnea (CPAP compliance reports), diabetes (recent A1C), or cardiovascular issues. Plan for 30–45 minutes.
