The hard part

Knowing which step belongs to whom.

A SAP makes clinical recommendations and later determines successful compliance. An employer decides whether to return an employee to safety-sensitive work and ensures required testing. In certain FMCSA cases, a C/TPA has a limited RTD role when the driver has no employer.
