FMCSA ELDT Training - Class B Theory

Study Anywhere In The World WIth Online ELDT Training From CDL Truck Services

In 2022, The Federal Motor Carrier’s Safety Administration passed new regulations requiring anyone pursuing a CDL in the United States to pass entry-level driver training courses.

The entry-level driver training curriculum has been designed to ensure uniform training throughout the nation. These courses increase safety and ensure every commercial driver has the same experience.

Individuals pursuing a Class A or Class B CDL will need to meet these requirements before they begin behind-the-wheel training.

CDL Truck Services offer the full complement of courses that will ensure you meet your ELDT training requirements.
