Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does CDL-B Theory ELDT cover?+

Federal ELDT theory for Class B CDL applicants: vehicle inspection, basic control, on-road operation, and hazard perception. The course does not include behind-the-wheel training — you complete BTW separately with a local FMCSA-registered provider before your Indiana BMV skills test.

How long does the course take?+

Under 2 hours. Most students finish in 90 minutes or less. You can pause and resume anytime within your enrollment period.

How much does CDL-B Theory ELDT cost?+

CDL-B Theory ELDT is $20. If you're also pursuing a Class A CDL, the CDL Complete Bundle is $45 — it includes CDL-A Theory ELDT, CDL-B Theory ELDT, and CDL-A Permit Prep ($15), saving you $10 vs. buying each separately.

What does the Indiana BMV require after I complete ELDT?+

Your ELDT completion is automatically submitted to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry within 24 hours. The Indiana BMV verifies your completion by checking the TPR. You then schedule behind-the-wheel training at a local provider, pass that BTW evaluation, and finally take the Class B skills test with the Indiana BMV.

Do I need ELDT if my CDL was issued before February 7, 2022?+

If your CDL was issued before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered and don't need retroactive ELDT for your existing license. However, if you're upgrading to a new class (such as Class A) or adding an endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, School Bus), you must complete the relevant ELDT course before testing with the Indiana BMV.
