Failed an alcohol or drug test?
Due to DOT alcohol and or drug violation you have been removed from a safety-sensitive job. In order to get back into your transportation profession, you must go through the Return-to-Duty process.
- On the FMCSA Clearinghouse, you must be registered as a driver using your CDL number.
- When you fail a DOT urine drug test, The MRO will flag your name with the violation date.
- You must then choose an SAP; Click and search for Peggy Lidstrom.
- Click my name. Thank you for allowing me to be your SAP.
- I am notified you have chosen me and I agree to accept you and now you can go forward with RTD.
It is a three-part process
1. Have an evaluation with me, I enter this date in clearing house
2. Then I will refer you to a substance abuse treatment provider in your area for sessions of either education or treatment.
3. When you have completed the required treatment or education you will return for a follow-up appointment with me to complete the Return to Duty process. Then I entered that you have completed RTD
4. You will be given a letter of completion that allows you to look for work.
This process is different for truck drivers, aviation personnel, mariners, railroad maintenance workers, and gas pipeline workers.
5. You must pass that first DOT urine drug test to fully complete the process.
A driver with a drug and alcohol program violation is prohibited from performing safety-sensitive functions, including operating CMVs, for any DOT-regulated employer until the return-to-duty process is complete.
By November 18, 2024, as part of new Federal regulations, drivers with a “prohibited” status in the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse will lose or be denied their State-issued commercial driving privileges.
