DOT SAP Evaluation in New Mexico — 9 Providers Listed

New Mexico's freight crosses on I-40 through Albuquerque and Gallup and I-10 through Las Cruces, with I-25 tying Albuquerque to Santa Fe and the Colorado line. The Santa Teresa port of entry near El Paso and the Permian Basin oil field around Hobbs and Carlsbad add truck traffic well away from the cities. Below are 9 listings for New Mexico, 4 of which say on their own website they perform DOT SAP evaluations, with offices in Clovis and Hobbs; 2 telehealth SAPs based out of state list New Mexico as a state they serve by video. The other 5 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 New Mexico line. The state's part is the CDL itself. Since November 18, 2024 (FMCSA), the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division 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 New Mexico. 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 New Mexico; ask before you book. 2 telehealth providers on this page list New Mexico as a state they serve. A SAP across the line in Arizona, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah 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.
