Fleet DOT physical volume pricing is a discount structure that allows Charlotte-area employers to reduce per-driver examination costs when scheduling multiple drivers for DOT physical examinations [1]. Under 49 CFR 391.43, every commercial motor vehicle driver must be examined by a certified medical examiner listed on the FMCSA National Registry [2]. Charlotte DOT Exam Center offers competitive volume pricing for fleets with 5 or more drivers, helping employers manage compliance costs while maintaining FMCSA certification standards.
Our FMCSA-certified medical examiners, Dr. Lemuel P. Byrd, Jr. and Dr. Alan M. Tebby, have served Charlotte-area transportation companies since 1991. We understand that driver compliance costs directly impact your bottom line.
