SAP/RTD (Return to Duty)

HOW THE FMCSA RETURN-TO-DUTY PROCESS WORKS

Before you begin:
✔ Complete the process with a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) (we provide these services via Wholeness Within) first!
✔ Have a checkmark in Steps 1-4 in the FMCSA Clearinghouse.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO COMPLETE YOUR RETURN-TO-DUTY PROCESS

Step 1: SUBMIT YOUR RETURN-TO-DUTY CONSENT FORM

RTD Consent Form

Step 2: Make your payment

RTD Drug/Alcohol Screen $250

Step 3: SAP COMPLETION VERIFICATION

After payment, we will contact your SAP provider to obtain the necessary completion paperwork.
Additional Testing Fees: If your SAP requires a Breath Alcohol RTD test, there is an extra fee of $115.

Step 4: FMCSA CLEARINGHOUSE WALK-THRU

A team member will call you from 678.861.7989 to walk you through the process of selecting us as your CTPA (Consortium Third-Party Administrator) in the Clearinghouse.

You will need:

✔ A separate email address (not already registered in the Clearinghouse)

✔ To purchase a Query Plan ($2.50 in the Clearinghouse)

**NO LAPTOP NEEDED - you can use your phone...

Step 5: FMCSA RETURN-TO-DUTY DRUG TEST

Observed Testing: The test will be supervised by a person of the same sex, as per DOT regulations.
Results: 3-5 business days for test results.

You will not be scheduled for a drug test until your balance is paid in full.

Step 6: FMCSA CLEARINGHOUSE UPDATE & STATUS CHANGE

We will update the FMCSA Clearinghouse with your negative drug test results.
Your status will change from "Prohibited" to "Not Prohibited" in the Clearinghouse.
We will ensure that your local driver's license office receives the necessary notifications that your CDL/CLP is no longer in prohibited status.
