AXG Services provides DOT SAP evaluations, follow-up evaluations, and required documentation for safety-sensitive employees completing the return-to-duty process.
For Employees
If you have had a DOT drug or alcohol violation, this page explains the SAP process, the steps you must complete, and how to get started.
What is a DOT SAP Evaluation?
A SAP evaluation is a federally mandated process for employees in safety-sensitive positions who have violated DOT drug or alcohol regulations.
The SAP:
-
Evaluates the violation
-
Determines required education or treatment
-
Reviews completion documentation
-
Determines eligibility for Return-to-Duty (RTD) testing
The SAP does not decide employment status or conduct drug testing.
This applies to workers regulated by:
-
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)
-
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
-
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
-
Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
-
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)
-
United States Coast Guard (USCG)

DOT Clearinghouse reporting requirements
For FMCSA-regulated drivers:
-
The SAP enters the date of the initial SAP evaluation and the date the driver is eligible for RTD testing.
-
Employers enter the negative RTD test result and completion of follow-up testing.
The SAP cannot change a driver’s Clearinghouse status to “Not Prohibited.” Only the employer can do so after submitting a negative RTD test result.
Clearinghouse records remain visible for five years from the date of the violation or until follow-up testing is completed, whichever is later.
Important Timing Information
-
SAP evaluations are valid for six months.
-
If recommended services are not started within six months, a new SAP evaluation is required.
