Yes, ELDT.com was designed to meet all new training requirements set forth by FMCSA's new entry-level driver training standards.

The new ELDT requirements include three portions of training for CLP holders before they can take their CDL Skills Exam. These requirements are:

• Theory (what we provide)
• Road (driving practice - a CDL school provides this)
• Range (backing practice - a CDL school provides this)
• Talk with your local training provider to make sure all your results have been submitted to the FMCSA TPR Portal before scheduling your final state CDL Exam.

Yes. However ELDT.com will take care of your Theory portion of training per FMCSA CFR's 380. You will want to check with your local and state CDL compliance requirements to see if they require additional training. 

Some people can finish the course in one day and some take a couple. You can save your progress whenever you want and start back up where you finished off.

Once you complete the entire course and receive a score above 80%, you will be prompted to verify you entered your information correctly. You may then submit your results to the FMCSA Database. 

Once you have completed doing so, your Certificate of Completion will appear, and you may download it onto your device.

When you click the “Submit” button your results are instantly entered into the FMCSA Database, where the DMV goes to look up results. 

If any of the information you submitted is incorrect and does not match your license they will not be able to find it. It has to match perfectly. 

Once all three portions of your training (Theory, Road, and Range) are complete you can schedule your final state exam at the DMV.

FMCSA’s Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) regulations set the baseline for training requirements for entry-level drivers. This includes those applying to:

• Obtain a Class A or Class B CDL for the first time;
• Upgrade an existing Class B CDL to a Class A CDL
• Obtain a school bus (S), passenger (P), or hazardous materials (H) endorsement for the first time.

The ELDT regulations establish new minimum training standards for individuals applying for:

• Obtain a Class A or Class B CDL for the first time
• Upgrade an existing Class B CDL to a Class A CDL
• Obtain a school bus (S), passenger (P), or hazardous materials (H) endorsement for the first time.

If you do not already have your CDL or the endorsement you are seeking, your behind-the-wheel (BTW) training must be completed with a registered training provider listed on the FMCSA TPR website. BTW training is required and consists of two portions—road and range training—where you must demonstrate proficiency to meet FMCSA standards.

Road and Range training is in-person driving training that must be facilitated by a Registered Training Provider. After you have completed your Road and Range training your Instructor will submit your record to the FMCSA TPR.
