On November 18 of this year (2024) the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration  (FMCSA) is requiring all 50 state driver's license agencies (SDLAs) and motor vehicle bureaus in the U.S. to revoke the commercial driver’s license of any persons who are prohibited from driving a commercial vehicle on the FMCSA Clearinghouse. This is clearly a tightening up of policy in an attempt to get CDL holders as well as those with CLPs (commercial learners permits) into full compliance.

If you have had a DOT drug or alcohol testing violation you will want to choose your SAP evaluator pretty quickly so you can get back to work as soon as possible. However, we advise you should also exercise some caution in your choice to avoid needlessly making a bad situation worse.

Of course, you are thinking of the obvious questions first.  How fast can I get this done and back to work? How much is this going to cost me? Will this process require me to go through a lengthy and costly rehab program?
