Secure telehealth, Pennsylvania-wide

Same federal process, regardless of where you are
Whether you're a CDL driver pulled over in Scranton, a transit worker flagged by a random test, or a pilot returning from a positive screen — the DOT return-to-duty process is the same nationwide. We work the entire process from your initial evaluation through follow-up and Clearinghouse reporting (for FMCSA drivers). All evaluations are conducted by a DOT-qualified SAP meeting §40.281 requirements, with results accepted by any DOT-regulated employer in Pennsylvania.

Northeastern PA logistics
Northeastern Pennsylvania — Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton, Pittston — has seen a logistics and warehousing boom driven by I-81, I-84, I-380, and the Turnpike's Northeast Extension (I-476). The result is a large and growing CDL workforce, plus COLTS and LCTA transit operators, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International (AVP) aviation personnel, and Norfolk Southern rail crews. Because NEPA drivers often run long distribution hauls, telehealth is the practical choice — the evaluation happens from home or the road, not after a drive back to an office.
Frequently asked questions from Scranton drivers
I run distribution out of the Hazleton/Pittston warehouses — can I be seen remotely?
Yes. NEPA distribution drivers complete the entire 49 CFR Part 40 process by telehealth. Book a same-week slot and finish the evaluation without giving up a run.
How fast can a Scranton or Wilkes-Barre driver start?
Most Lackawanna and Luzerne County drivers are scheduled within 2–3 business days, often the same week including evenings.
Does running the I-81 corridor across state lines change anything?
No. Interstate CDL work is FMCSA-regulated under the same federal rules. Your return-to-duty steps and Clearinghouse reporting are identical whether you run in-state or up the corridor into New York.
Can you work with COLTS or LCTA transit employees?
Yes. NEPA transit operators and safety-sensitive staff are FTA-covered; the SAP evaluation and return-to-duty pathway are the same as any DOT mode.
Will my NEPA employer's DER accept a telehealth evaluation?
Yes. DOT permits telehealth for both evaluations, and any DOT-regulated employer in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre region must accept an evaluation from a qualified SAP.
