What is a DOT certificate, and where can I get one?
A DOT (U.S. Department of Transportation) certificate states that you meet federal medical requirements for driving a commercial motor vehicle. You will need to obtain a DOT certificate before you take the written tests. You’ll need to bring this certificate when you apply for a CDL and always carry it with you when you’re driving a commercial vehicle. You can get a DOT certificate from a doctor, a transportation company, or an exam center that follows Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. You may also purchase a medical certificate from: • Utah Motor Transport Association • 975 W. 2100 S.
