Welcome to DOTSAPs.org. These Terms of Use and Disclaimer govern your use of this website and its directories, information, resources, and related services. By using DOTSAPs.org, you agree to these terms.
​
About DOTSAPs
DOTSAPs is an independently operated online directory and informational resource intended to help drivers, employees, Substance Abuse Professionals (SAPs), employers, Designated Employer Representatives (DERs), C/TPAs, and other service agents navigate resources related to the DOT Return-to-Duty process.
​
DOTSAPs is not affiliated with, operated by, sponsored by, or endorsed by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse, or any other federal or state government agency.
​
References to DOT, FMCSA, the Clearinghouse, or federal regulations are provided for informational purposes only.
​
Directory, Not a Referral Service
DOTSAPs is a directory. It is not a call center, treatment placement service, employment agency, or lead-generation service. Visitors are able to review available listings and contact listed professionals or organizations directly. DOTSAPs does not act as an intermediary in the professional relationship between a visitor and a listed provider.
Paid Directory Listings
Some professionals and organizations appearing on DOTSAPs pay a subscription fee to maintain a directory listing. Directory subscription fees help support the operation, maintenance, development, and administration of DOTSAPs.
​
Payment for a listing does not constitute an endorsement by DOTSAPs and does not guarantee referrals, clients, calls, business, employment opportunities, website traffic, or any other result.
​
Pricing, billing frequency, renewal, cancellation, and refund terms presented during the subscription or checkout process are incorporated into these Terms. DOTSAPs reserves the right to decline, suspend, or remove a directory listing that contains inaccurate or misleading information, does not meet directory eligibility requirements, or is otherwise inconsistent with the purpose of the directory.
​
Provider Information and Credentials
DOTSAPs may establish eligibility requirements for professionals and organizations listed in its directories. However, users should independently verify the qualifications, credentials, services, availability, regulatory status, and suitability of any individual or organization before entering into a professional or business relationship.
​
A listing on DOTSAPs should not be interpreted as a certification, guarantee, recommendation, or endorsement of a provider. Listed providers and organizations are responsible for maintaining accurate information within their listings and for complying with all laws, regulations, professional standards, and certification requirements applicable to their services.
​
No Guarantee of Directory Information
DOTSAPs makes reasonable efforts to maintain useful and accurate information, but directory information may change. Provider availability, contact information, service areas, credentials, pricing, policies, and services may change without notice.
DOTSAPs cannot guarantee that every listing or piece of information on the website will always be complete, accurate, current, or available. If you notice information that appears incorrect or outdated, please contact us.
​
DOT and Return-to-Duty Information
Information concerning DOT regulations, the FMCSA Clearinghouse, SAP requirements, Return-to-Duty procedures, testing requirements, or related regulatory matters is provided for general informational purposes. Federal regulations, agency guidance, Clearinghouse procedures, and interpretations may change.
Users should consult the applicable federal regulations and official DOT or FMCSA resources when making decisions related to regulatory compliance.
DOTSAPs does not have authority to determine a person's regulatory status, Clearinghouse eligibility, employment eligibility, or compliance with DOT requirements.
​
No Professional Relationship
Using DOTSAPs does not create a therapist-client, SAP-client, physician-patient, attorney-client, employment, consulting, or other professional relationship with DOTSAPs or its operator.
​
Information provided on this website is not intended to replace individualized professional, legal, medical, clinical, employment, or regulatory advice.
Any professional relationship established with a provider found through the directory exists solely between the user and that provider.
No Employment Guarantee
DOTSAPs does not employ drivers, place individuals with employers, or guarantee that a driver will become eligible for employment.
​
Completion of the SAP or Return-to-Duty process does not guarantee employment, reinstatement, or placement in a DOT safety-sensitive position.
Employment decisions remain the responsibility of employers and are subject to applicable federal regulations and employer policies.
​
Third-Party Websites and Services
DOTSAPs may contain links to websites, businesses, service providers, or other resources operated by third parties.
​
DOTSAPs does not control those third parties and is not responsible for their websites, services, privacy practices, policies, representations, or actions.
