Looking For SAP Friendly Company
Topic 33177 | Page 1
Go onto Indeed.com and search "SAP Driver " or something along those lines.
There are companies out there that are SAP friendly, I've dealt with plenty of them in my role as a drug screener.
From my experience, it seems like local companies in my area are more willing to accept a SAP Driver. Perhaps that's the case for your area as well.

First off I would like to say that I have never failed a drug screen. The company I drove for, for a very brief period, last year reported to the Clearinghouse that I refused a "random" drug test. What they failed to disclose to the Clearinghouse is that this test was a hair follicle test requested from their new insurance company. I quit with them July 16, 2022. According to the violation report, they reported this "refusal" on July 19, 2022. I had to take some time off in order to deal with some health issues. I went back to work on April 6 this year. In April 21 I received an email from the Clearinghouse stating that I had a violation. The company I was driving for was at a loss for words also as this violation wasn't on my record when they hired me. No one knew it was there. I don't understand the Clearinghouse/fmcsa not following their own rules/regulations. The rules are pretty clear as to what drug tests and refusals are reportable. Same for where and how drug tests are to be done. This company never had a time/date/place set for any sort of test, let alone a DOT approved facility/test location. The rules are also pretty clear that any reportable test must be done while on the clock. This company was repeatedly asking me to do this hair follicle test during my home time. I have filed a dispute, with plenty of documentation, and have been given an expedited review. Was told I would receive an answer within the next 14 days. All of that being said, I went ahead and did the SAP program just to hopefully get back to work sooner. I'm located in Omaha, Ne and have a little over 18 mos experience, mostly reefer
