Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the CDL-B Theory ELDT course?+
The course covers the federal ELDT mandate for Class B CDL applicants: vehicle operation, cargo, braking systems, vehicle inspection, and safe driving practices. It's theory only — there's no behind-the-wheel component. You'll complete BTW separately at a local FMCSA-registered provider after passing this course.
How long does the CDL-B Theory ELDT take to complete?+
You'll finish under 2 hours. Most students complete it in one sitting. Once done, your completion certificate is auto-submitted to FMCSA within 24 hours, and GA DDS can verify your training through the Training Provider Registry.
What does Georgia DDS require for the CDL-B license?+
GA DDS requires FMCSA-approved ELDT before you schedule the skills test with a third-party examiner. You also need a valid Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP), which you obtain from GA DDS after passing the written knowledge test. DLA Academy's course satisfies the federal ELDT mandate; the knowledge test and BTW are separate steps handled through GA DDS and a local BTW provider.
Is DLA Academy's CDL-B ELDT FMCSA-approved?+
Yes. DLA Academy is listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry and serves 49 states (Washington excluded). When you complete the CDL-B Theory ELDT, your certificate is auto-submitted to FMCSA within 24 hours. GA DDS verifies your training by querying the TPR — no additional paperwork from you.
Do I need ELDT if I already have a CDL from before February 7, 2022?+
Drivers who held a CDL before February 7, 2022, don't need retroactive ELDT for that license class. However, if you're upgrading to a higher class (e.g., Class A) or adding a new endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, School Bus), you'll need ELDT for that upgrade or endorsement. Check with GA DDS if you're unsure about your specific situation.
