What must a driver do to resume operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) after failing or refusing a DOT test?
A CDL driver who tests positive on a DOT test or refuses to take a DOT test, must successfully complete the return-to-duty (RTD) process with a DOT qualified substance abuse professional (SAP).  The requirements for the RTD are found in [49 CFR Part 40, Subpart O].
