You’ve worked hard to build your career as a safety-sensitive employee—whether you’re a CDL holder or in another safety-critical role, your position matters. A non-negative test or refusal doesn’t have to define your future, but time is critical.
​​
The DOT SAP program is your mandatory first step to returning to duty and staying compliant under DOT Rule 49 CFR Part 40.
​​
CDL Holders: Act NOW or Risk a Downgrade!
​
​
If you do not complete the DOT SAP Return-to-Duty process, your CDL will be downgraded—it’s not optional. The FMCSA Clearinghouse II Rule makes compliance mandatory for all CDL holders, and delays could cost you your license, job, and livelihood. Every day you wait increases the risk of falling out of compliance.
Other Safety-Sensitive Employees: Time Is Running Out!
​
​
If you work in any of the following safety-sensitive positions, you are also required to complete the DOT SAP process before returning to duty:
-
Pilots
-
Flight attendants
-
Mechanics
-
Train operators
-
Transit employees
-
Pipeline workers
-
Ship captains and crew
-
Emergency response personnel
Delaying action could mean:
-
Suspension and lost wages
-
Missed opportunities for advancement or shifts
-
Permanent marks on your employment record
Your career and compliance are on the line—don’t wait to start this critical process.
