What is the source of your guidance and recommendations?
Published and updated by our physician editorial team who are Certified Medical Examiners, the easyDOTexam.com reference manual and web-based app algorithms are based upon the latest reports from the Medical Review Board and Medical Expert Panel - both of which are advisory groups to the FMCSA, the latest information from the FMCSA (including their periodic webinars), and the latest medical literature.

Is there an app to download?
A subscription to easyDOTexam.com includes both our comprehensive reference manual and our web-based app. Our manual and app are updated regularly because we always want you to have the latest FMCSA guidance.

Why do I need easyDOTexam.com?
Simply put, whatever reference you are currently using to guide your DOT certifications is out of date and incomplete. Cheat sheets from your training course? Typically contain obsolete recommendations and do not include the many conditions and medications that come up in daily practice. Textbook or handbook? Books go out of date very quickly and the recommendations are often dated. easyDOTexam.com is updated frequently and we are constantly adding guidance based upon questions and feedback from our users – actual medical examiners. If one of our users has a difficult or complex question, then others likely will as well so we add such issues with recommendations to our database.
Can more than one provider share a subscription to easyDOTexam.com?
Access to an easyDOTexam.com account is restricted to the original subscriber only - no sharing is permitted due to HIPAA concerns. This is why you must log in with your FMCSA registry ID number. We follow this carefully for obvious reasons and sharing of an account may be grounds for termination of your subscription. Thank you for understanding.

The FMCSA does not approve of any reference, whether it is a training course syllabus, textbook, or web-based reference. However, our recommendations come straight from the FMCSA and its Medical Expert Panels and Medical Review Board proceedings.
