DOT SAP Evaluation in Kansas — 8 Providers Listed

Kansas freight runs on I-70 across the state and I-35 through Wichita to the Kansas City metro, where much of the state's CDL work is concentrated. Southwest Kansas, around Dodge City, Garden City and Liberal, is beef and feed country with its own fleet of cattle, grain and feed haulers a long way from any city. Below are 8 listings for Kansas, 1 of which says on its own website it performs DOT SAP evaluations, with offices in Lenexa. The other 7 listings are for treatment or testing, which you may need later in the process, not for the evaluation itself.

There is no Kansas version of the SAP process. The return-to-duty steps are federal, set out in 49 CFR Part 40, and they are the same for a driver in Kansas as for one anywhere else. The state's part is the CDL itself. Since November 18, 2024 (FMCSA), the Kansas Department of Revenue's Division of Vehicles must downgrade the license of a driver in prohibited status within 60 days, and it is the office that restores the commercial privilege after a negative return-to-duty test.

Video evaluations count in Kansas. The rule that allows them (49 CFR §40.291) is federal, and the only state question is whether the SAP's license reaches a driver sitting in Kansas; ask before you book. A SAP across the line in Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma and Colorado 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.
