Default DOT physical

My hubby had to endure his yearly physical as he has high BP, this last week and he said that the chiropractor made him strip down to bvd's as he was checking him for moles!!!!!!!!! He (my husband) does not know the reason why he needed to do this. I said he should have asked the Dr. Question: how many others out there have had to be subjected to this examination? Maybe it is a request only required by the trucking company that hubby just go hired by. I don't know but were both very curious now. Thanks for any feedback.

Didn't know chiropractors were DOT certified to give physicals.......outside of that, I don't see the reason behind checking for moles, particularly as a chiropractor.

Seems a bit weird to me. First Dr's now have to be certified to do DOT's like Ford said and the only reason to look for moles is skin cancer and that's a bit out of a chiropractor preview. I find it hard to believe a company would worry about and pay for something extra like that but it may be that Dr. mission in life to help spot skin cancer early, either that or wanted to check out hubby!
