Our SAP program for CDL drivers guides you through every step of the return-to-work process. All SAP classes for truck drivers are 100% online, giving you the flexibility to finish your program from anywhere—no travel required.
Our substance abuse professionals provide clear guidance and accountability, helping you get back behind the wheel with a fresh start.
Failing or refusing to take a DOT-mandated drug or alcohol test doesn’t necessarily mean your trucking career is over. If you want to regain your commercial driving license, you must successfully complete a DOT SAP program for truck drivers.
Return to Duty offers online SAP services, ensuring full compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. This process includes a required evaluation, education, and follow-up testing to help CDL and CLP drivers regain compliance and legally return to work.
Getting back on the road after a failed drug or alcohol test can feel overwhelming, but the Return to Duty process is here to guide you. It’s all about getting you back to work in a safe, legal, and responsible way.
Here's a breakdown of our SAP program for CDL drivers:
The first step is a virtual evaluation with a DOT-qualified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). This session includes:
Next, you’ll complete your DOT-required education or treatment program. To make things easier, all SAP classes for truck drivers are fully online.
Important: You’ll pay the treatment provider directly. These costs are separate from your SAP evaluation fees.
Once you complete your program, you’ll meet again with your SAP for a final evaluation. After verifying that you’ve met all DOT requirements, they’ll update your status in the FMCSA Clearinghouse (for CDL holders) and send a completion report to your current or prospective employer.
Before you can resume safety-sensitive duties, you must pass an observed return-to-duty drug test ordered by your employer (or prospective employer). A negative result is required. Your SAP will also provide a follow-up testing schedule to ensure compliance for at least one year, as required by DOT regulations.
Getting back behind the wheel shouldn’t be harder than necessary. Our SAP program is designed to be simple, accessible, and fully online so you can move forward with confidence.
A flat fee of $550 covers the DOT-required SAP assessment, with flexible payment options available at booking to fit your budget.
