$125 flat. No insurance, no waiting room, no lost half-day. Most drivers are examined, certified, and back on the road in about 30 minutes — medical card in hand.
Kansas City is the freight crossroads of America — four interstates meet here (I-35, I-70, I-29, and I-49), more rail tonnage moves through KC than almost anywhere in the country, and the warehouse belt stretching from Front Street and the East Bottoms through KCK's Fairfax and Armourdale districts down to the new logistics parks in Edgerton keeps thousands of CDL drivers rolling every day. Every one of them has a med-card expiration date creeping up, and a lapsed card means a downgraded CDL and parked truck.
Wherever you're staged — the truck stops along I-70 east of the Blue River, the yards off Front Street, or a drop lot in KCK — getting your physical shouldn't mean fighting Plaza traffic. Appointment windows run early mornings through Saturday, timed so you can slot the exam between a morning delivery and an afternoon pickup.
Serving drivers from:
…and nearby Topeka, St. Joseph, Lawrence, Warrensburg, Emporia, Ottawa. Convenient to I-35, I-70, I-29, I-49, and the I-435/I-635 loops.
The booking form takes a minute: your name, your number, the window that works. Confirmation of your time and exam location lands by text or email, usually fast.
One certified examiner runs the whole exam — vision, hearing, blood pressure, urinalysis, and the physical — with no waiting-room shuffle in between.
Pass, and the printed med card goes straight into your wallet while the results go electronically to the FMCSA National Registry that same day.
Read the full requirements guide — blood pressure limits, vision standards, and the paperwork that saves your two-year card. Or put your question in the booking form — a two-minute answer beats a wasted trip.
Flat $125, cash or card. That covers the whole exam, your printed med card the same day you pass, and the electronic filing — nothing extra gets tacked on at the desk.
Two years is the longest card the FMCSA allows. Managed conditions like blood pressure or diabetes often mean a 12-month card instead, so the examiner can keep an eye on the numbers.
Bring your driver's license, a list of your current medications (with doses), and your glasses, contacts, or hearing aids if you use them. If you have diabetes, heart conditions, or sleep apnea, bring your latest readings, specialist clearance letters, or CPAP compliance report to avoid delays.
No. The urinalysis in a DOT physical checks for protein, blood, and sugar in your urine — it's a kidney and diabetes screening, not a drug screen. DOT drug testing is a separate program run by your employer or consortium.
140/90 is the line for the full two-year card. Run 140–159 over 90–99 and it drops to one year; 160–179 over 100–109 buys you a single three-month card to fix it; 180/110 or above means no card until it's under control. Come in rested and lay off the caffeine beforehand — it genuinely moves the needle.
Usually same day or next day, Monday through Saturday. Put the window that fits your schedule in the booking request; confirmation of your time and exam location comes back by text or email, typically within the hour during business hours.
The examiner files them electronically with the FMCSA National Registry, and state licensing agencies receive them from there. You leave with the printed certificate for your wallet and your carrier's file.
