DOT Assessments in Gastonia, NC

DOT SAP assessments in Gastonia, NC are required for CDL drivers and other safety-sensitive employees who must complete the FMCSA Return-to-Duty process after a failed or refused drug or alcohol test. As a qualified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), I provide evaluations that are confidential, affordable, and fully compliant with 49 CFR Part 40 regulations.

 

Gastonia’s economy is supported by manufacturing, logistics, and transportation, with many residents commuting to Charlotte and surrounding areas for work. From CDL truck drivers and warehouse operators to public transit employees and construction crews, compliance is essential for keeping Gaston County moving safely. I guide drivers in Gastonia, Belmont, Mount Holly, Dallas, Kings Mountain, and nearby communities through every stage of the SAP process - from the initial evaluation and education or treatment recommendations to the follow-up assessment, Return-to-Duty testing, and creation of the employer follow-up testing plan.

 

I offer secure telehealth appointments, allowing drivers across Gastonia and the Greater Charlotte region to complete the SAP process quickly and conveniently. My flat $400 fee (well below the $500–$700 many providers charge) keeps compliance affordable, and most new clients are scheduled within 24–48 hours.
