Getting your CDL in Florida means working through the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV). The federal FMCSA ELDT mandate took effect February 7, 2022, and DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved to provide the theory training you need. Whether you're adding an endorsement or getting your Class A or Class B, we've got the courses — all $20 each, all under 2 hours, all auto-submitted to FMCSA within 24 hours.

Florida CDL Requirements — Quick Reference

To get any Commercial Driver's License in Florida you'll work through Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV). Federal ELDT requirements apply across all 49 states — DLA Academy's online theory courses satisfy the ELDT mandate, and behind-the-wheel training (where required for CDL A or CDL B) must be completed locally at an FMCSA-registered BTW provider.

Florida is the one known exception — TSA Hazmat fingerprinting is handled by Florida driver license offices (not IDEMIA). Applicants schedule the print at an FLHSMV office, not an IDEMIA enrollment center.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What CDL courses does DLA Academy offer for Florida?+
DLA Academy offers five individual FMCSA-approved ELDT courses: CDL-A Theory ELDT ($20), CDL-B Theory ELDT ($20), Hazmat ELDT ($20), Passenger ELDT ($20), and School Bus ELDT ($20). We also offer CDL-A Permit Prep ($15) — a DMV practice-question study tool, not ELDT. All individual ELDT courses complete in under 2 hours. We also bundle them: the 3-Endorsement Bundle (Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus) is $50, and the CDL Complete Bundle (CDL-A ELDT + CDL-B ELDT + Permit Prep) is $45.
Do I need behind-the-wheel (BTW) training after DLA Academy?+
Yes. DLA Academy covers the FMCSA-mandated online theory. Behind-the-wheel training is a separate step you must complete at a local FMCSA-registered BTW provider in Florida before you take your CDL skills test at FLHSMV. DLA does not provide BTW.
How does Hazmat TSA fingerprinting work in Florida?+
Florida is unique: TSA Hazmat fingerprinting is handled by FLHSMV driver license offices, not by IDEMIA (which handles 48 other states). After you complete Hazmat ELDT with DLA Academy, you schedule your fingerprint appointment at an FLHSMV office. Bring the proof of DLA completion and valid ID. FLHSMV will process your TSA clearance and notify you when it's approved.
What if I already have a CDL issued before February 7, 2022?+
Your existing CDL is grandfathered — no retroactive ELDT required. However, if you upgrade your license class (e.g., CDL-B to CDL-A) or add a new endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus), you must complete the relevant FMCSA-approved ELDT course. FLHSMV and DLA Academy will verify your ELDT through the FMCSA Training Provider Registry.
How much does it cost, and are there bundle discounts?+
Individual ELDT courses are $20 each. CDL-A Permit Prep is $15. Three bundles offer real savings: the 3-Endorsement Bundle (H+P+S) is $50 instead of $60 — saves $10. The CDL Complete Bundle (CDL-A ELDT + CDL-B ELDT + CDL-A Permit Prep) is $45 instead of $55 — saves $10. The Hazmat + DMV Test Prep Bundle is $30 instead of $35 — saves $5. DLA Academy is the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved option available.
