  • During the DOT (Department of Transportation ) physical, blood drawing is not part of the physical itself and blood is not taken. However, a commercial driver presenting with certain medical conditions that may require further investigation such as sugar in the urine, may be recommended to have further testing that involves blood drawing. This is usually referred out or done later and not during the actual DOT physical.
