About Me
I’m Jacqueline Daniels, a dedicated Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) committed to helping safety-sensitive employees successfully navigate the DOT return-to-duty process with professionalism, compassion, and integrity. With extensive experience in substance use assessment, counseling, and compliance, I guide individuals through each step of the SAP process — from the initial evaluation to the follow-up testing plan — ensuring they meet all Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations.

My approach combines clinical expertise with empathetic support, recognizing that each client’s journey is unique. I work closely with both employees and employers to ensure clear communication, timely documentation, and a smooth path toward reinstatement.

Whether you’re a driver needing to return to safety-sensitive duties or an employer seeking DOT-compliant SAP services, my goal is to provide thorough, ethical, and respectful guidance every step of the way.

Here’s the step-by-step process for designating your SAP in the FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse:

1. Log in to your Clearinghouse account

• Go to https://clearinghouse.fmcsa.dot.gov.
   
• Sign in using your login.gov credentials.
   

2. Access the "My Dashboard" section

• Once logged in, select "Driver" from your role options (if you have multiple roles).
   

3. Locate the “Designate Your SAP” option

• On your dashboard, you’ll see a “Violation” listed if you have a drug/alcohol violation that requires a SAP process.
   
• Next to the violation, there will be an option to “Enter SAP Information” or “Designate SAP.”
   

4. Enter your SAP’s information

• You’ll need your SAP’s first and last name and Clearinghouse ID number (the SAP will provide this).
   
• Double-check spelling and ID number — if it’s incorrect, the system won’t link them.
• TO FIND MS. DANIELS -- TYPE "DANIELS" SHE WILL APPEAR AS "Bennett-Daniels, LCSW-QS, CCTP-V"
   

5. Submit your designation

• Once you submit, your SAP will be notified in their Clearinghouse account and can accept the designation.
   

6. Your SAP completes their part

• After you’ve designated them, your SAP will enter assessment and follow-up plan information directly into the Clearinghouse once your process is complete.
   

💡 Important Tips:

• You must designate a SAP before they can update your status in the Clearinghouse.
   
• Only SAPs who are registered in the Clearinghouse can be designated.
   
• If you don’t know your SAP’s ID, ask them — it’s the easiest way to avoid errors.
