DOT Assessments
Those with commercial driver licenses (CDL) in Michigan or in safety sensitive positions who have failed a DOT drug test will need an assessment conducted by a Qualified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) if seeking a license reinstatement. The fee for this evaluation is $400. If an individual works for a WorkLife Solutions contracted company however, the fee for the assessment may be waived. In addition, the Department of Transportation Federal Office of Drug and Alcohol Policy & Compliance sets the guidelines for any training requirements. CARE also provides training for DOT supervisors and drivers.
