Know your numbers before the exam
The exam-day reading sets how long your card lasts. This is the federal staging, straight from the examiner handbook.
Blood pressure at the exam table
What the reading does to your card length. Systolic first, diastolic second, and either number alone can set the row.
under 140/90
Full certification, up to 2 years
The standard maximum interval.
140-159 / 90-99
1-year card
Certify, recheck in a year.
160-179 / 100-109
3-month card, one time only
A single 90-day window to get treatment working.
180/110 or higher
Not qualified until it comes down
Then 6-month cards while it stays controlled.
164/102
164/102 on exam day is a 3-month card. You only get that card once.
That is not the examiner being difficult, it is FMCSA staging. A systolic reading of 160-179 or a diastolic of 100-109 sends you out with a one-time 3-month certificate meant for exactly one thing: getting treatment started.
Bring the pressure to 140/90 or under by the recheck and the examiner can put you back on a 1-year card. Miss the window and there is no second 3-month card. Those 90 days are the whole product: a clinician who knows your recheck date, a home cuff routine, readings sent from the road, and a plan that fits a driving schedule.
Staging per the FMCSA Medical Examiner's Handbook, 2024 edition.

The Recert Countdown
Most telehealth sells visits, and a visit does not care what happens after it ends. Roadworthy anchors care to the one date that can bench you: the day your med card expires.
90 days out
Baseline
Home readings, labs where needed, meds reviewed, a target set against the staging table.
60 days out
Adjust
Check-ins from the cab. Treatment tuned while there is still time for it to work.
30 days out
Confirm
You and your clinician watch the same numbers the examiner will see, so nothing at the exam is news.
Weekly billing on every plan, matched to per-mile pay.
A free exam finder, because the exam itself always happens in person.
Built for the long haul. Not for everything.
This is for you if
- your recert lands inside the next 12 months and the last one felt too close
- you left the last exam with a 1-year or 3-month card instead of your usual 2
- you drive on insulin and want the MCSA-5870 paperwork handled right
- you run irregular routes and a clinic that closes at five has never once worked
This is not for you if
- you need an exam this week: skip us, open the finder, book an examiner
- chest pain, trouble breathing, sudden vision change, or one-sided weakness: that is 911, not telehealth
- you want someone to promise an exam outcome: nobody honest can
- a clinician who has examined you in person said different: they win, every time
There is no telehealth DOT exam. FMCSA has published no remote pathway, and the exam is hands-on by design (FMCSA Medical Examiner's Handbook).
What a one-off telehealth visit cannot do
Flat-fee visit sites are fine for a sinus infection: you pay once, they see you once, the chart closes. A number that has to move by a federal deadline needs the opposite of that.
| What matters | One-off visit site | Roadworthy |
|---|---|---|
| Knows your card expiration date | No | It is the spine of the whole program |
| Follows your readings between exams | Ends when the visit ends | Ongoing, from the cab |
| Billing | One flat fee per visit | Weekly billing that tracks per-mile pay |
| Helps you find a certified examiner | No | Free finder, no signup |
| Performs the DOT exam remotely | Some imply they can | No. Nobody should: FMCSA has published no telehealth exam pathway |

Blood pressure and conditions
Blood pressure medication and your CDL med card
Taking blood pressure medication does not by itself disqualify you for a CDL med card. The examiner looks at control and safe CMV operation at the exam.
