Entry Level Driver Training (ELDT) — Class A
If you obtained a commercial learner's permit (CLP) on or after February 7, 2022, completing this course is mandatory before taking your CDL skills test. Upon completion, your results are submitted to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry so testing centers can verify your training.
This course covers 30 units required by the FMCSA, including basic operation and orientation, pre- and post-trip inspections, shifting and operating transmissions, backing and docking, coupling and uncoupling, hazard perception, skid control and recovery, hours of service requirements, and post-crash procedures.
You can register online and begin the course immediately from any device. We track your progress so you can complete each section at your own pace. Once finished, we report your completion to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry, and you can proceed with behind-the-wheel training.
