In 2002, The Federal Motor Carrier’s Safety Association made ELDT courses mandatory for those seeking to get a Class A or Class B license or either passenger or school bus endorsements.
CDL Truck Services offers all of these ELDT courses online through our student portal. Our online ELDT courses couldn’t be simpler or more convenient. Register today and start getting your CDL license.

Before getting your CLP, you’ll need to complete all of the initial paperwork to get your license. Once you’ve completed that paperwork, you can begin the process of acquiring your CLP. To do so, you’ll need to pass 4-5 written exams, depending on what kind of license you’re seeking:
Texas Commercial Rules - Contains 20 questions.
General Knowledge Test - Contains 50 questions.
Texas CDL Air Brakes Test - Contains 25 questions.
Combination Vehicle Exam - Class A License only. Contains 20 questions.
Endorsement Tests
CDL license requirements vary and depend on the kind of license you’re seeking. You’re required to hold a Commercial Learner’s Permit for at least 14 days before taking the CDL Road Test. This is to give you time to practice driving.
You may require medical certification to get your license, also. Whether or not you need a medical exam depends on the kind of license you’re getting. Find more information about medical exams and other prerequisites at the Texas DPS website.
Your final test determines whether or not you’ll get your commercial driver’s license. You’ll need to supply your own Class A or Class B truck for the exam. The test has three major portions:
Pre-Trip Inspection - There are two parts to this portion of the test. First, you’ll be judged on your ability to determine the roadworthiness of your vehicle. You’ll also be tested on your ability to initiate the truck’s air brakes system.
Basic Maneuvers - You’ll take the portion of the test on a closed course at the DPS office. You’ll be tested on your ability to drive, turn, back up, and park your commercial vehicle around obstacles on the course.
Road Test - On the final part of the test, you’ll take the vehicle out onto the road. You’ll be judged on your adherence to traffic laws and ability to maneuver your vehicle safely in normal traffic conditions.
Trucking schools aren’t only expensive. They also take months to complete your coursework, and after that, you still have to go through the state requirements to acquire your license. CDL Truck Services offer an affordable, fast alternative. Contact us today to start getting your CDL.
