Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) for Class B

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has established minimum training standards for individuals applying for their Class B commercial driver's license (CDL) for the first time. If you are interested in obtaining your Class B CDL, you are subject to the entry-level driver training (ELDT) requirements. This Class B CDL theory course was created in collaboration with an approved training provider listed on FMCSA's Training Provider Registry (TPR) and must be completed for a driver to be eligible to take the state Class B CDL exam administered by the state.

This Class B CDL training course is designed for Class B commercial motor vehicle drivers who are seeking a CDL and intended to only meet all theory (knowledge) requirements listed in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 49 CFR Part 380, Special Training Requirements. This includes sections covering basic operation, safe operating procedures, advanced operating practices, vehicle systems and reporting malfunctions, and non-driving activities.

Upon completion of this online course, our system will automatically upload your ELDT records to the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) TPR. You can take your state's CDL test upon completing other federal training requirements, such as behind-the-wheel training. Those who successfully take the CDL test will be issued a state CDL and may be eligible to be hired by companies that operate Class B trucks in commerce.

Note: There are no refunds or transfers for this course. This course is excluded from ed2go standard refund and transfer policies. Once access to the course is provided, no refunds or transfers will be allowed. This course includes the required ELDT theory exams for each of the units.; it does NOT include the behind-the-wheel training, cost of the CDL test, or other state exam charges.
