Who We Can Help
Welcome to our C/TPA services, where we specialize in supporting CDL drivers navigating challenging circumstances, particularly those facing drug violations. If the FMCSA clearinghouse requires a Return-to-Duty test to reinstate your CDL, we're here to guide you through the process with expertise and understanding. Our dedicated team is committed to assisting CDL drivers in reclaiming their careers and driving privileges by providing comprehensive support throughout the RTD process. With our tailored service, you can trust that you're in capable hands as you work towards getting your life back on track and returning to the road with confidence.
How We Can Help
We help CDL drivers with a drug violation pass step 5 of the return-to-duty process. This is all we do. We understand the RTD process and the known problem with completing step 5. So we decided to create an entire business just to give drivers a no nonsense, straightforward way to get their CDL privileges back without needing an employer. How?
If you received a violation and now your CDL has a "Prohibited " status, you will need to take a drug test called a RTD test. This test will need to be negative to remove this status and regain your driving privileges. The FMCSA allows two paths to take the RTD test. One path is finding an employer willing to hire you with a prohibited CDL restricting your driving privileges. They will be responsible for ordering the RTD drug test and reporting your results to the clearinghouse. The other path is for drivers to register as their own employer (owner-operator) in the clearinghouse and use a C/TPA to order their drug tests. We are a registered C/TPA and we have helped many drivers who choose path two to get their RTD test completed. Once we receive a completed order form and payment, we will send a step-by-step guide to designate us as your C/TPA in the clearinghouse. That's all you need to do and we will take care of the rest.
UPDATE FROM THE DRUG AND ALCOHOL CLEARINGHOUSE
Good News!
The clearinghouse has finally provided their solution for drivers without employers to get a RTD test. And it happens to be the exact same process that we have been using for years. This will help our potential customers feel confident and trust us with their RTD testing.
This is directly from the Clearinghouse website: Under 49 CFR employers that are subject to FMCSA's drug and alcohol regulations in 49 CFR part 382 are required to report drivers' negative RTD test results to the Clearinghouse. However, if a driver does not have a current or prospective employer subject to part 382 to send the driver for an RTD test and upload the negative result, the driver may register in the Clearinghouse as an owner-operator and designate a
consortium/third-party administrator (C/TPA) for the limited purpose of completing the RTD process. Once designated, the C/TPA can direct the driver to submit to an RTD test and report the negative RTD test result to the Clearinghouse on the driver's behalf. When the C/TPA reports the negative RTD test result, the driver's Clearinghouse status will change from "prohibited" to "not prohibited," thereby allowing the driver to resume driving a CMV and performing other safety-sensitive functions. Note: the driver's follow-up testing plan prescribed by the substance abuse professional must be administered by the driver's employer when the driver resumes working in a DOT safety-sensitive position.
Drivers using this option will need to create a new account in the Clearinghouse with the "Employer" role (note: this will require creating a new Login.gov account). When registering, select "Register as an Employer and Driver" and be sure to select "Yes" for the question "Are you an owner-operator?" Download step-by-step instructions. Drivers should not apply for a U.S. DOT Number when using this option to complete the RTD process.
