DOT SAP Evaluation in Nevada — 12 Providers Listed

Nevada's CDL work is at the two ends of the state: Las Vegas, fed by I-15 from Southern California, and Reno-Sparks, where I-80 crosses and a large distribution belt serves the whole West Coast. Between them is US-95 and a lot of empty road. This page lists 12 providers in Nevada, 1 of which says on its own website it performs DOT SAP evaluations, with offices in Las Vegas. The other 11 listings are for treatment or testing, which you may need later in the process, not for the evaluation itself.

The SAP process itself is federal — 49 CFR Part 40, Subpart O — so nothing about it changes at the Nevada line. The state's part is the CDL itself. Since November 18, 2024 (FMCSA), the Nevada Department of Motor 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.

Yes, you can do the evaluation by video from Nevada: 49 CFR §40.291 leaves that to the SAP's discretion, and a legitimate telehealth SAP will tell you in one sentence whether their license covers Nevada. A SAP across the line in California, Oregon, Idaho, Utah and Arizona is also an option, in person or by video, under the same licensing question. What cannot be done by video is the return-to-duty test itself, which is an observed collection at a collection site.
