cost of DOT physical?

[kilog55]

whats it cost out of pocket for an individual to get a new medical card/certification??? mine runs up the end of Oct.

[Roadhog]

My Doc charges me $100, and fortunately, I'm in good health, so I qualify for the 2-year card.

[illegalerror]

I paid $38 for my medical card/certification


Oh" I went to http://www.concentra.com

hmm none close enough, where does one get this done?? is there a list somewhere that is dot approved?

[Roadhog]

How much would you pay on the street to have a pro shove a rubber glove up your kiester?

[kilog55]

honestly never had that done anywhere

Some of the walk in clinics will do DOT physicals. You should be able to check the yellow pages in your area for a listing. Some truck stops also have people who do DOT physicals. I think the most I have paid is about $60 which includes the drug test.

Complete physicals...should be done every year. I guess some are more complete than others. I admit...I include blood work, UA test, and other joys ...(snap)...with my visit. I figure...as tough as this job is...why should I scrimp on my health.

But...you can get the basic ....open say ahhhh...follow my pen....your blood pressure is getting rather high...(signing med card)...okay you're done.


BTW...I was responding to your reply that $38 dollars was still not cheap enough....and I realize now you meant proximity...(close enough) ...sorry

"1st time I went the doc was a real ass, said I needed to shed some poundage. I said I was working on it, he said well work alot harder. Not very professional." He was trying to communicate to you in a way you'd understand. Apparently diabetes, stroke, shortened life, ED, and all the other things that go with being overweight don't mean a thing to you, too bad for you. Sounds like he was being very professional. BOL

the local place said $95

[tweety bird]

You can go to any doctor- your home doctor is fine. Our home doctor charges somewhere around $80. It's probably more now- they've really gotten ritsy.

Most recently we got ours done on I 75 just south of I 40- the first exit. Go east off the exit and there is a shopping center with a walk-in clinic. I don't remember the exact price but it was about $40 each if I'm not mistaken.

A lot of Petros and/or TAs have walk in clinics for this, too.

If you have until October, you're fine.

yeah till Oct but on old license number :shock:

I got mine for $78 in rural Illinois.

I got my first one done on my own dime, at my family doc. Cost me about $100 in '97. Any doctor can do the physical if you provide the form, but be careful they fill it out correctly if you go to a doc who isn't used to these. I forget the details, but there's one box they want to check that they shouldn't check. Something about needing a waiver for your diabetes.

yeah i may call around and see what they do before i pony up 95 bucks if they do the same stuff somewhere else for less if it's worth it anyways
