Indiana CDL Requirements — Quick Reference

To get any Commercial Driver's License in Indiana you'll work through Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (Indiana BMV). 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.

For Hazmat endorsements, Indiana uses the standard IDEMIA TSA enrollment process — schedule your fingerprinting through Universal Enroll.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does DLA Academy ELDT cost?+
Individual ELDT courses are $20 each (CDL-A Theory, CDL-B Theory, Hazmat, Passenger, School Bus). CDL-A Permit Practice Test is $15. We also offer bundles: CDL Complete ($45, saves $10), 3-Endorsement ($50, saves $10), and Hazmat + Test Prep ($30, saves $5). We're the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved option.
How long does it take to complete an ELDT course?+
Each individual ELDT course completes in under 2 hours. You can finish and submit in a single sitting. We'll auto-submit your completion to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry within 24 hours.
Do I need both ELDT and the DMV permit test?+
Yes. DLA Academy's ELDT courses ($20 each) meet the federal FMCSA requirement. The CDL-A Permit Practice Test ($15) is a study tool for Indiana BMV's CLP knowledge test—it's not ELDT and doesn't replace ELDT. You take the permit test at the Indiana BMV. Many drivers pair CDL-A Theory ELDT with our Permit Practice Test to prepare for both.
Is DLA Academy FMCSA-approved in Indiana?+
Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. Your completion is auto-submitted to FMCSA TPR within 24 hours. Indiana BMV verifies ELDT completion by querying the TPR. We're accepted in 49 states (Washington excluded).
Who needs ELDT for a CDL in Indiana?+
Anyone getting a CDL or adding an endorsement (H, P, S) must complete FMCSA ELDT—unless their CDL was issued before February 7, 2022 (grandfathered). If you're upgrading from CDL-B to CDL-A, or adding a new endorsement to an old license, you still need ELDT. Contact Indiana BMV for specific questions about your situation.
