A DOT Violation Doesn't Have
to End Your Career.
Under federal law (49 CFR Part 40), you cannot return to any safety-sensitive position until you've completed the SAP process โ no exceptions. That means no driving, no operating equipment, no getting back to the work you depend on.
The good news: the process is straightforward when you have the right SAP guiding you. The sooner you start, the sooner you're cleared to return.
