🚛 Helping CDL Drivers Return to the Road 🚛

CDL drivers: Do you need to complete a Return-to-Duty (RTD) test but don’t currently have an employer? We’ve got you covered – Nationwide..!!

You can still comply with FMCSA regulations and update your Clearinghouse status through the Owner-Operator Without a Carrier (OWOP) registration option.

Here’s how we make it easy:
✅ Guide you through registering as an OWOP in the FMCSA Clearinghouse.
✅ Act as your designated Consortium/Third-Party Administrator (C/TPA).
✅ Handle the scheduling of your RTD test and report the negative test result to the Clearinghouse.
✅We have collection sites nationwide – close to where you live.

With our service, you can move quickly from “prohibited” to “not prohibited” status, allowing you to get back to driving commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) and performing safety-sensitive functions.

🛠️ Simplifying compliance so you can focus on the road ahead. 🛠️

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES

This agreement is made between the Driver named in the form above (hereinafter referred to as the “Client”) and Drug Free Business (DFB) to outline the responsibilities and understanding for CDL drivers registering as an Owner-Operator (OWOP) in the FMCSA Clearinghouse to complete the Return-to-Duty (RTD) process as allowed under 49 CFR 382.705(b)(1)(ii).

Clearinghouse Registration

I understand that as a CDL driver without a current or prospective employer, I must register in the FMCSA Clearinghouse under the "Employer" role for the limited purpose of completing the RTD process.
I will create a new Login.gov account and select "Register as an Employer and Driver", ensuring I select "Yes" for the question, "Are you an owner-operator?"

Designation of a C/TPA

I understand that I must designate a consortium/third-party administrator (C/TPA) to facilitate my RTD process.
I authorize Drug Free Business (DFB), my designated C/TPA, to direct me to complete the RTD test and to report the negative RTD test result to the Clearinghouse on my behalf.

Reporting and Compliance

I acknowledge that once DFB reports my negative RTD test result to the Clearinghouse, my status will change from “prohibited” to “not prohibited,” allowing me to resume driving a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) and performing other DOT safety-sensitive functions.
I understand that my follow-up testing plan, as prescribed by the Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), must be administered by my future employer when I resume working in a DOT safety-sensitive position.

Prohibition on U.S. DOT Number Application

I confirm that I will not apply for a U.S. DOT Number solely for the purpose of completing the RTD process using this OWOP registration option.

PROGRAM COST

The cost for this program is $350.00, which includes account setup and deployment, coordination of the Return-to-Duty (RTD) process and Clearinghouse responsibilities, specimen collection fee, SAMHSA Lab fee, and MRO fees. As part of this service, Drug Free Business will generate a DOT electronic Custody and Control Form (eCCF) and email it to the driver, along with clear instructions for completing the RTD test. The driver’s test will be scheduled at our Bothell, WA, location, provided the driver resides in Western Washington, ensuring the collection takes place at our designated collection site. Additionally, Drug Free Business will report the negative RTD test result to the FMCSA Clearinghouse. This will change the driver’s status from “prohibited” to “not prohibited” only if the test result is negative.

Additional Testing Requests

If the driver requests a re-test of their original specimen, as permitted under 49 CFR Part 40.171, an additional fee of $350.00 will apply. This fee covers the costs associated with facilitating the re-test, including the administrative work to coordinate the re-analysis with the laboratory. Drivers should be aware that the re-test will be conducted on the original specimen and must be requested in compliance with DOT regulations.

Drug Free Business Return-to-Duty Compliance Agreement for CDL Drivers: By submitting this form, I affirm that I have read and understood the information provided in this agreement and accept the responsibilities outlined. I acknowledge compliance with all applicable FMCSA Clearinghouse and Return-to-Duty (RTD) process requirements. I understand that failure to comply with FMCSA regulations may result in enforcement actions or restrictions on my ability to perform safety-sensitive functions. Furthermore, I agree to hold Drug Free Business (DFB) harmless from any and all claims, including, but not limited to, losses, damages, injuries, or acts of negligence.(Required)

I agree.
