Who we see in Dallas

Dallas sits at the crossroads of I-35E, I-20, I-30 and I-45, with one of the country’s busiest freight hubs in the Inland Port in south Dallas. We work with safety-sensitive employees across every DOT agency:

CDL drivers (FMCSA) — long-haul, regional, local delivery, owner-operators and drivers between jobs
Transit employees (FTA) — bus and rail operators, mechanics and dispatchers
Aviation employees (FAA) — pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and other covered employees at Love Field and DFW Airport
Pipeline (PHMSA), rail (FRA) and maritime (USCG) employees
Non-DOT evaluations for courts, probation, employers and licensing boards — learn more

We also see drivers from across Dallas County and the surrounding cities, including Irving, Garland, Mesquite, Richardson, Plano, Carrollton, Grand Prairie, Lancaster, DeSoto, Frisco and McKinney.

In person in Dallas, or by video from wherever you are

Since DOT’s 2023 rule change, your SAP evaluation can be done face to face by live video. Most of our Dallas clients choose video over Microsoft Teams from home, the yard or the cab. If you would rather meet in person, we offer in-person evaluations in Dallas — tell us when you call.

How it works

Call us first at 214-901-7079, 7 days a week, 8 AM–6 PM Central. We answer your questions before you commit.
Register in the FMCSA Clearinghouse and designate Nichelle Chandler as your SAP (CDL drivers).
Pay by card or Zelle, and book your appointment.
Your evaluation — and your recommendation the same day.
Follow-up evaluation once you have completed your recommendation, and we report your eligibility for the return-to-duty test.

Your Texas CDL is on the line. Since November 2024, the Texas Department of Public Safety, like every state licensing agency, must downgrade the CDL of a driver whose Clearinghouse status is Prohibited until the return-to-duty process is complete. The sooner you start, the sooner it is behind you.

Choose a SAP whose work holds up

Your employer, your C/TPA and, during audits, DOT all review your SAP’s work — and DOT rules do not let you get a second evaluation because you want a different recommendation. DFW SAP has done DOT SAP evaluations for nearly 20 years and has never failed an audit over process, procedure or compliance. Why your choice of SAP matters →

Common questions from Dallas drivers

Do I have to come to an office in Dallas?

No. Most evaluations are done by live video, so you can be anywhere. In-person evaluations in Dallas are available if you prefer them.

My employer is outside Texas. Can you still be my SAP?

Yes. We work with drivers and employers anywhere in the U.S. Your report goes directly to your employer’s designated employer representative, wherever they are.

How fast can I be seen?

Same-day appointments are often available Monday to Friday, and every driver is guaranteed an appointment within 5 days. Call to check today’s openings.
