CDL drivers, LCTA operators, AVP aviation workers, and rail crews all share the same federal return-to-duty requirements, and telehealth keeps the process from costing you a run.

Secure telehealth, Pennsylvania-wide

Same federal process, regardless of where you are
Whether you're a CDL driver pulled over in Wilkes-Barre, 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.

Luzerne County's warehouse belt
Few parts of Pennsylvania have added distribution capacity faster than Luzerne County. The corridor from Pittston through Wilkes-Barre down to Hazleton is packed with fulfillment centers feeding the New York and Philadelphia markets, which means a large and growing CDL workforce running long, unpredictable schedules. LCTA transit operators, AVP aviation staff, and Norfolk Southern crews round out the safety-sensitive population here. Because those schedules rarely allow a weekday office visit, every evaluation we run is by secure video.
