FAQ

No, you are not required to take your ELDT prior to getting your CLP. However, you must complete Entry-Level Driver Training before getting your CDL.

Anyone who is applying to get their Commercial Drivers License for the first time will need to complete the FMCSA Entry-Level Driver Training requirement and achieve a final test score of 80% or greater. This must be done before taking the CDL skills exam.

Certain trucking vehicles require further certfication such as driving a school bus, city bus, or a tanker. If you would like to enhance your trucking career or are looking to specialize in a specific freight to drive that requires an endorsment we got you covered. Above, are all the FMCSA certified endorsments we offer to help get you started.

The FMCSA provides a database (the Training Provider Registry: www.tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov) of all the schools that are registered to administer the ELDT course. Here at The CDL School, we provide an ELDT course and are registered with the FMCSA . You can start here!

Yes. You will need to get your Class A or Class B certification along with an endorsment. The endorsment itself will not be enough. We have bundles that make it easy for you to get everything you need to drive the truck you want.

With a Class A ELDT and the added necessary endorsment you can most commercial vehicles including combination vehicles. With Class B endorsment, there are some restrictions. Class B ELDT plus the proper endorsment only allows you to drive any straight trucks such as a school bus, city bus, and dump truck.

Five star

This school has proven to be amazing! They got me a job where I was in a truck within a week of graduation. I ended up not liking the job 4 months later. I emailed the school to see if they could help me again. They provided me with the same support as if I was still a student. Got a new job the same day! These people care and they keep their promises! If you want to drive go to this school!!!
