Overview

Since February 7, 2022, the ELDT regulations set the minimum federal requirements for training that entry-level drivers must complete before being permitted to take certain commercial driver’s license (CDL) skills or knowledge tests.

The Issue

There is currently a shortage of CDL drivers in this nation. This course is offered to meet federal requirements while saving both time and money. A state may issue a commercial learner’s permit (CLP) to a driver who has not yet completed entry-level driver training, but the driver must have passed “ELDT Theory” (or knowledge) testing with a score of 80% or better and have their score recorded in a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Training Provider Registry (TPR) on-line portal for the state to electronically verify the student’s required ELDT training completion before CDL testing is permitted.

Solution

ELDT Training and Assessment is a one-day class that targets any individual desiring to obtain a CDL. The ELDT Training and Assessment provides instruction in all elements of theory (knowledge) required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) along with comprehensive testing/assessment being conducted. Trainees must score a minimum of 80% to be recorded in the TPR for the state to electronically verify the student’s training completion before CDL skills testing can occur.

Objective

• Provide FMCSA ELDT-compliant assessment to individuals desiring to obtain CDL licensure.

Benefits

• Prepares individuals to pass the state’s written CDL driver’s test.

• Provides required entry of ELDT Theory training and assessment into FMCSA online portal.

• Add to the state’s number of productive, wage-earning taxpayers.
