In 2022 the FMCSA began requiring that all people pursuing a Class A or Class B license must take and pass Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) courses before taking further steps to get their CDL. Individuals pursuing a passenger or school bus endorsement must also complete a course.
Texas CDL Truck Services offers these ELDT courses entirely online, where you’ll be able to test and study wherever you are. After you’ve completed these courses and are ready to move on, we’ll be here.

After filling out the initial paperwork, getting a physical (if required), and determining your eligibility to get a CDL license, you’ll need to get your CLP. To do that, you’ll need to pass 3 or 4 written exams with at least 80% of the questions correct. These tests include:
While the requirements for a CDL vary based on the type of license you’re applying for, there are a few requirements for all of them: applicants should have a clean driving record without a history of drug or alcohol abuse. After that, you may be required to submit to a physical exam. More information about the CDL physical can be found on the Texas DPS website.
When you’ve finished practicing and have booked your test date, you can expect your final CDL road test to have three parts:
Pre-Trip Inspection - The first part of the test begins before you even start the engine. You’ll be assessed on your ability to determine if the vehicle adheres to safety standards. This part of the test also includes evaluating your ability to initiate the air brakes.
Basic Maneuvers - This part of the test takes place on a closed course. You’ll drive a commercial vehicle and be tested on your ability to perform basic maneuvers, like turning, backing up, and parking.
Road Test - On the final part of your CDL driving test, you’ll take a commercial vehicle out on the open road. You’ll be assessed on your ability to drive in standard traffic conditions as well as your knowledge of commercial driving laws.
