Starting a career in trucking begins with the right training. The Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) requirements set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) ensure that all new CDL applicants receive standardized, high-quality training before taking their CDL skills or knowledge tests. But not all training programs are equal.

At CDL eXpert, we provide affordable, flexible, and 100% online ELDT theory training that meets all federal requirements. Our program is designed to help you pass your CDL exam, obtain your Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP), and land your first trucking job—all in one place.

With 100,000+ students trained by three generations of CDL experts and a 95% job placement rate, CDL eXpert has a proven track record of helping new drivers start successful careers in trucking.

Why ELDT Training Matters

Since February 7, 2022, all new CDL applicants are required to complete ELDT before taking the following tests:

• Class A or Class B CDL Skills Test
• Passenger (P) Endorsement Skills Test
• School Bus (S) Endorsement Skills Test
• Hazardous Materials (H) Endorsement Knowledge Test

FMCSA requires that all ELDT training be completed through a provider registered on the Training Provider Registry (TPR). CDL eXpert is fully registered with the FMCSA, ensuring that our program meets all federal training standards.
