Chiropractic Houston:
We are a TeamCME clinic providing real-time, on-line scheduling features allowing drivers to view available appointments and schedule a DOT Medical exam. Motor Carriers can schedule DOT medical exams for their drivers from their office computer.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) is a government agency whose role encompasses the regulation and safety within the transportation industry. Consequently, the DOT has mandated that all people who work within the transportation industry, especially those in safety sensitive positions, are required to be physically qualified to perform the essential functions of their jobs, and be free of illicit drug use.
Anyone who carries a commercial drivers license (CDL) is also regulated by The Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration (FMCSA) Spanish Language Web Site for Motor Carriers - Pagina Principal. The FMCSA is the specific agency within the DOT that governs the physical qualifications for truck drivers, and the drug and alcohol testing process associated with the trucking industry. Every 24 months (2 years) you must have a commercial motor vehical (CMV) medical examination that meets all DOT requirements. Here at Chiropractic Therapy Center, we meet or exceed those requirements, because we are familiar with these established guidelines regarding the physical requirements as outlined by FMCSA.
A CMV driver medical exam is required for an interstate driver (drives across state lines) of a vehicle/trailer weighing over, or rated to carry more than 10,000 lbs (total weight). Also, a driver of a vehicle that has a capacity to carry, or is carrying 8 persons (including the driver) for hire, or has a capacity to carry, or is carrying 15 persons or more (including the driver) without compensation must also have a CMV medical exam.
Whether the vehicle crosses state lines or not, a driver of a truck or passenger vehicle that is rated for, or weighs more than 26,000 lbs, or has a capacity, or is carrying 16 persons or more (including the driver) must have a CMV Medical Exam regardless.
The driver of any vehicle placarded for transporting hazardous waste must have a CMV medical examination.
Dr. David Scheiffele has had in-depth training for the Commercial Motor Vehicle Medical Examination. He is an accredited DOT Breath Alcohol Technician, an accredited DOT Screen Test Technician and an accredited DOT Urine Specimen Collector. Dr. Scheiffele is listed as a TeamCME medical provider.

Dr. Scheiffele will complete a thorough examination efficiently so that you, the driver, can get back to your life and on the road quickly.
We can also assist smaller employers needing the same services.
