Immigrant truck drivers play a vital role in keeping the economy moving, but they often face unique challenges when it comes to meeting both commercial driving requirements and immigration paperwork. At Florida Wellness and Medical Care, we make it simple to get both your medical card for CDL and Immigration Medical Examination (Form I‑693) done in one convenient location.
Why Immigrant Truck Drivers Need a DOT Medical Card
To legally drive a commercial vehicle in the U.S., all truck drivers—immigrants and U.S.-born—must pass a DOT physical and receive a valid Medical Examiner’s Certificate (Medical Card). This ensures that you are healthy and able to safely operate a truck.
Our certified medical examiners check:
- Blood pressure, heart health, and blood sugar levels
- Vision and hearing
- Sleep apnea and respiratory issues
- Physical mobility and reflexes
The card is usually valid for up to 2 years, but some conditions may require yearly check-ups.
Good news: Immigrant truck drivers with or without insurance are welcome. We offer affordable self-pay prices and same-day appointments.
Immigration Medical Examination – Form I‑693
Many immigrant truck drivers are also in the process of applying for a green card or adjusting their immigration status. USCIS requires a full Immigration medical exam examination (Form I‑693) by a designated civil surgeon.
During the immigration exam, we will:
- Review vaccination records (and provide missing vaccines if needed)
- Perform blood and urine tests, including TB testing
- Complete a physical exam
- Seal your Form I‑693 for submission to USCIS
Balancing Work and Legal Compliance
For immigrant truck drivers, time is money—and managing both driving schedules and legal requirements can be overwhelming. Having to visit multiple locations for different exams often results in lost work hours and added stress. Florida Wellness and Medical Care understands these challenges and bridges the gap by offering a one-stop solution. By combining CDL and immigration medical exams under one roof, drivers save time, reduce travel, and ensure they remain compliant with both DOT regulations and USCIS requirements.
