Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CDL-B Theory ELDT cost?+

CDL-B Theory ELDT is $20. Other providers charge $23–$75 for similar training. If you're also pursuing a Class A CDL, the CDL Complete Bundle (Class A + Class B + permit prep) is $45 and saves $10 vs. buying each separately.

How long does CDL-B Theory ELDT take to complete?+

The course completes in under 2 hours. You can finish the entire federal requirement in one sitting.

What does ALEA require for a Class B CDL?+

Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) requires you to complete FMCSA-approved ELDT before you're eligible to test for your Class B CDL. DLA Academy's course fulfills that requirement. You'll also need to complete behind-the-wheel training separately at a local FMCSA-registered provider, then pass ALEA's skills test.

Is DLA Academy's CDL-B course FMCSA-approved and submitted to ALEA?+

Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. Your completion is automatically submitted to FMCSA's TPR within 24 hours. ALEA verifies your ELDT by querying the TPR — no separate submission is needed on your end.

Who needs CDL-B ELDT? What about grandfathered drivers?+

You need ELDT if your Class B CDL was issued on or after February 7, 2022. If your Class B CDL was issued before that date, you're grandfathered and don't need retroactive ELDT for that license. However, if you're upgrading to a Class A, or adding a new endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus), ELDT is mandatory regardless of your original issue date.
