DOT SAP Evaluation in Colorado — 8 Providers Listed

Colorado's driving is the Front Range on I-25, Fort Collins through Denver and Colorado Springs to Pueblo, and the I-70 mountain crossing through the Eisenhower Tunnel, which has its own chain laws and closures. Oil and gas hauling in Weld County and the Denver distribution belt account for a large share of the state's CDL work. This page lists 8 providers in Colorado, 2 of which say on their own website they perform DOT SAP evaluations, with offices in Centennial and Westminster. The other 6 listings are for treatment or testing, which you may need later in the process, not for the evaluation itself.

Colorado does not write its own SAP rules; no state does. The evaluation, the education or treatment plan, the follow-up evaluation and the observed return-to-duty test come from 49 CFR Part 40 and apply identically in every state. Where Colorado does come in is the CDL: the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles removes the commercial privilege from a driver the Clearinghouse reports as prohibited — a 60-day requirement on every state since November 18, 2024 (FMCSA) — and puts it back when your status clears.

A remote evaluation is accepted in Colorado because the federal rule permits it everywhere: a SAP may evaluate you by real-time video at their discretion (49 CFR §40.291), provided their own license lets them see a driver in Colorado. A SAP across the line in Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Utah is also an option, in person or by video, under the same licensing question. The return-to-duty test cannot be remote: it is an observed collection, ordered by an employer or C/TPA, so plan for one trip to a collection site.
