STEP 5 Package - Only $145 or ($95 Upload Only)... Here's What To Do Next...
IMPORTANT: YOU are responsible for any ADDITIONAL FEES associated with your drug test. If you "FAIL" your drug test... the MRO will give you the option to "Appeal" your "Positive" drug test. If you AGREE to Appeal the final result... the MRO will charge YOU an ADDITIONAL $195 and send your "same urine sample" to another lab for another confirmation test.
Though this a rare occurrence, nevertheless, YOU are responsible for any ADDITIONAL FEES.
Here's How To Prepare for your Federal Observed Return to Duty Drug Test:
There's a reason why the DOT doesn't allow rapid (instant) drug tests!
They are NOT ACCURATE!
One practice drug test... all by itself... is NOT RELIABLE!
An instant drug test (Rapid drug test) or an "over the counter" drug test bought for home use... is NOT RELIABLE!
Here's Why: Marijuana/THC levels jump around in the body and change every day. High one day... lower the next... and then back up again. It's affected by diet, fatty foods, water, exercise, sleep, and numerous other factors.
Don't make the mistake of thinking everything is fine because you passed a "rapid" or store bought instant drug test!
Instead Do This:
That means Monday, Thursday and Sunday. If one of those is positive... the counting starts over.
All the drug tests must be negative... before you should even schedule a Federal DOT Return to Duty drug test!
It's the only way to know that the Marijuana/THC is really out of your system. (But even then, there's no guarantee.)
If you REFUSE to take all these measures... that is your choice... BUT nevertheless... It's NOBODY'S fault... but YOURS... if you end up testing Positive on your return-to-duty drug test.
The "non-DOT" (DOT look-alike/mirror) drug test... analyzed by a laboratory are MORE ACCURATE than a drug store home drug test or a non-DOT rapid drug test.
If you FAIL a "non-DOT" (DOT look-alike/mirror) drug test... you can request to obtain quantitations from the MRO... so you know what you are dealing with.
Some years ago... a donor got a THC quantitation of 4,000 ng/ml . It was more than 8 weeks before they were anywhere close to 15 ng/ml for a negative return-to-duty test!
PLEASE DO NOT take your Federal DOT Return to Duty Drug Test if you are UNCERTAIN that you will PASS!... you can always choose to take multiple "PRACTICE TESTS" first!
What Happens If You FAIL a Federal DOT Drug Test Again?
If you FAIL a FEDERAL DOT Drug Test again... whether its a Return to Duty, Follow-Up, Random, Post Accident or Pre-Employment... the MRO will report the Positive Drug Test as a "New Violation" inside your "Clearinghouse" account.
All STEPS with the "Clearinghouse" will be "wiped" and you will have to start all over again with STEP 1.
You will need to go to your "Clearinghouse" and "Choose a SAP" again!
You can either choose a NEW SAP or the same SAP as before.
Here's What To Expect...
Practice Drug Test - ONLY $60... Here's What To Do Next...
Marijuana/THC levels jump around in the body and change every day. High one day... lower the next... and then back up again. It's affected by diet, fatty foods, water, exercise, sleep, and numerous other factors.
This is for Educational Purposes Only.
Even if you wait it out... But even then... there's no guarantee.
Urine Drug Tests…
Marijuana will test positive on a urine drug test within 2 to 5 hours of use. The length of time it remains in your system depends a lot on your level of use.
These time lines are for Educational Purposes Only... They are ONLY Guidelines and SHOULD NOT be an exact measure...
Remember - It's Recommended To Do This:
Factors that influence how long marijuana stays in the body includes… Weight, body, fat, amount used, and frequency of use!
Currently the DOT only recognizes urine drug testing and does not recognize saliva or hair follicle analysis for drug testing for the purposes of the Clearing House and the return of duty process.
Saliva Drug Testing…
Saliva drug tests have been recently approved by The DOT… but has not been finalized.
Marijuana has been reported to test positive within one hour up to 72 hours after last use.
Hair Follicle Analysis Drug Testing…
Marijuana shows positive for 7 days up to 90 days… It is a history of drug use and is not recognized by the DOT as a standard drug test. THC does not always bind to the hair follicle and is not always considered an accurate test for marijuana use.
NEW Information (edited by Dr. Kurt Meininger, DC, CME, C/TPA - 08/02/25):
CDL drivers who have already completed their SAP program and STEP 5 are reporting that their CDL's are still Downgraded or Cancelled... according to their State Driver's Licensing Agencies (SDLAs)!
Here's Why...
If your drug violation happened more than 60 days ago… and if your State drivers license agency has already downgraded or canceled your CDL… because you didn’t get STEP 5 completed in a timely manner… you would have already received an official letter in the mail from the State… they usually DO NOT call, text or email you.
If your drug violation is more recent… and if you’ve completed your SAP program (STEPS 1-4) in a timely manner (typically within 60 days from your drug violation)… and if you have NOT received any deadlines or notices from the State… then that’s a good sign! Your State licensing agency will automatically be notified from the Clearinghouse that you have completed Step 5.
STEP 5 - PART 2:
If by chance they did downgrade your CDL… then you will NEED to call your States’ main CDL branch… not just any local drivers licensing branch… but call the main branch and ask them to REVERSE your cancellation and REINSTATE your CDL!
When you call your State's main CDL branch… they will first check the Clearing House to verify you have completed STEP 5… and then they will ask you to pay a fine in order to get your CDL Reinstated.
Every state is different… Most states will have you pay a fine around $75.
In order to be eligible to drive again… (No Longer Prohibited)… and if needed… get your CDL Reinstated… you ONLY NEED to complete STEP 5… you DO NOT need to complete STEP 6 yet!
NEW Information (edited by Dr. Kurt Meininger, DC, CME, C/TPA - 08/08/26):
Finding A New CDL Job (Post SAP Violation):
Now that you have a "past history" showing a "Violation" in the Clearinghouse... every time you apply for a new CDL job... they will see your "Open Violation" status in the Clearinghouse.
This will often throw a "red flag" at your application.
Remember... your Violation will appear in the Clearinghouse for:
...whichever one of these two take longer to complete.
Good News... all you need to do is complete STEP 5 and you will be eligible to Reinstate your CDL... and have an active license!
You DO NOT need to complete STEP 6 in order to find a job!
Some employers will say "they CANNOT hire you until you complete STEP 6"... but that is only their way of politely saying... "go away... we don't want to deal with you".
Remember... STEP 6 is like "PROBATION"... and it takes over a year to complete and it consists of several "observed drug and/or alcohol tests".
The Employer, by Federal Law, is obligated to manage and facilitate these additional Follow-up tests for you.
So... if a new Employer starts saying that you need to complete STEP 6... JUST MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE!... DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!
There are PLENTY of Employers who advertise that they are "SAP FRIENDLY"!
Here is an example of a Employer that is "SAP Friendly" and what they require:
Clearinghouse SAP Friendly - SAP APPLICANTS CONSIDERED!
Application Requirements:
SAP Applications Considered:
Just Google "SAP Friendly CDL Jobs near me"...
I have a "short list" of job leads... OTR and Local... if you are interested... text me.
Here's What To Do If Your Employer Will NOT Help You With STEP 6:
Consequences of an employer NOT managing their employees Follow-up testing plan...
The employer is fully responsible for scheduling and managing the unannounced follow-up tests... it’s their duty under FMCSA rules... not the driver’s.
The SAP counselor tells the employer the Follow-up plan and they have to make it happen and report everything to the Clearinghouse.
If the tests are NOT done, the driver gets treated like he refused or violated again!
That means immediate removal from safety-sensitive work... a new violation in the Clearinghouse... and having to restart the whole SAP and return-to-duty process!
There are real penalties for the driver... even though it’s the employer’s job.
What I recommend to do ASAP:
This stuff is strict... better to switch jobs than risk another violation.
STEP 6 (Probation Period)... Here's Everything You Need To Know:
STEP 6 is also known as the "Probation Period"... "Follow-up Testing Plan"… which is created specifically for YOUR CASE by YOUR SAP.
You CANNOT start STEP 6… according to the FMCSA… until you start driving a CDL truck with a “DOT Regulated” company… driving under their authority!
*The only exception to this rule is if you are an "Owner Operator" driving under your own authority… then you can start STEP 6 immediately!
But, If you are currently unemployed… looking for a CDL job… or if you are doing a different type of job (like Uber or driving a Box Truck)… then you CANNOT start STEP 6.
It is perfectly fine to POSTPONE your follow up testing plan. It doesn’t matter if it takes you 3 months or 6 months or up to 2 years to find a CDL job… you can POSTPONE your STEP 6.
After you get your new CDL job… YOUR EMPLOYER will need to contact your SAP… who will email your follow-up testing plan… NOT to YOU… but directly TO YOUR EMPLOYER!
The SAP’s follow-up testing plan is confidential and you are NOT allowed to ask or know.
The SAP’s follow-up testing plan consists of a minimum of 6 observed drug tests… sometimes more. Sometimes breath alcohol is also included…
Every SAP is different and every follow-up testing plan is specific and unique according to YOUR case.
These drug tests are spread out over a whole year or more... and are managed directly by your EMPLOYER.
When your EMPLOYER orders you to take a "Follow-Up" drug test... you have to proceed immediately to the collection site... This STEP 6 plan is very similar to the normal random drug and alcohol program... whereas you never know when your going to be picked or sent for another drug test.
Your EMPLOYER has the authority and will manage your Follow-Up testing plan. They will eventually upload your very last follow-up test date... which complete STEP 6… inside your Clearing house.
If your EMPLOYER has questions related to STEP 6… and NEEDS HELP on HOW to MANAGE your follow up testing plan… they need to call their designated C/TPA for assistance.
If your EMPLOYER would like to HIRE ME as their designated C/TPA... they are welcome to contact me!
I will walk them through the entire RTD process and STEP 6... explain all the details and compliance rules... and if they want my expertise... they are welcome to Authorize and Designate me as their C/TPA!
Your EMPLOYER can call us and schedule any type of drug test for you or any of their other employees... including Follow-Up, Return to Duty, Random, Post Accident and Pre-employment!
In addition... I can also set them up with a DOT Consortium - Random Drug & Alcohol Program... for all the CDL drivers in the company! The fee for the entire company is only $275 per year for the Certificate of Participation... plus additional fees for any drug testing throughout the year.
For more information... your EMPLOYER can contact me at 678-925-1878.. or email me drkurtmeininger@gmail.com
Your SAP is only authorized, according to the FMCSA rules, to send your "confidential" Follow-Up Testing Plan to your EMPLOYER.
Your EMPLOYER will randomly schedule your follow-up drug tests for you.
Your EMPLOYER can require you to take several drug tests within the same month… they can mix it up anyway they want!
Remember these "observed" drug tests are NOT planned out in advance... they are meant to be like a "random" drug test.
Hopefully your employer will pay for your entire Follow-up Testing Plan… but if they want you to help cover the costs of the drug tests, then they might deduct the amount from your paycheck.
Keep in mind that you will also be enrolled in their normal Random drug and alcohol program… along with all the other drivers in the company.
Typically an employer will automatically pay for Random and Pre-Employment drug tests… but NOT necessarily your Follow-up Testing Plan.
Your Federal drug violation stays inside the Clearinghouse for 5 years from the beginning of your violation or until you complete STEP 6… which ever is LATER or takes LONGER.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me anytime.
