Forced to restart sap process 3 yrs after the fact

@Moose1958

 

I saw the tag. I am not feeling very well. To be honest there are no appeals procedures in the regs. If the OP has been told they must go through the SAP program again then sadly it looks as if they will have to. I wish I could be of better help, but as I said I don't feel well and my brain is not functioning fully right now. So I am going to tag @brian991219 maybe he knows something I have missed.

 

If your CDL had been issued by a school that had authority to self-test students and you drove for 10 years. You could be forced to retest for the CDL. It is what it is. There are enough obstacles in life without adding to them. I'm glad you turned things around. That's the most important part.

 

Seems the fast way is to just start over.
Here's part of the process you'll need to complete:

Thanks M. Unfortunately for the OP, if the email they received is legitimately from the FMCSA then they may be required to start all over again. It is important to note that the FMCSA is not in the habit of making first contact on critical issues via email, they prefer regular postal mail, so this may not be a legitimate notice.

I would contact the FMCSA Field Office or Regional Service Center where the OP lives to confirm this is legitimate and to see if they gave any grace period to comply or if they have already been placed in prohibited status in the Clearinghouse. As a driver you can check your own Clearinghouse record for free just by logging in at Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse

Also, there is a process where a driver can challenge some information in the Clearinghouse, see this link:

Here is a link to the FMCSA Filed Offices and Regional Centers.

Thank you! This week has not been one of my better weeks. The OP needed information and @Chinatown thought of me. I was in no condition to be of any help and as I was about to post I thought of you.
