Getting your CDL in Louisiana costs less than you think when you start with DLA Academy. The Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (LA OMV) requires FMCSA-approved ELDT before you take your skills test — and DLA Academy is the lowest-priced option at $20 per individual course. We're FMCSA-approved, auto-submit to the Training Provider Registry within 24 hours, and accepted in Louisiana and 48 other states (Washington excluded). Here's the breakdown.

Louisiana ELDT Pricing — Every Course, Every Bundle

Every individual FMCSA-approved ELDT course on DLA Academy is $20 flat in Louisiana — no discounts, no surge pricing, no surprise fees. Bundles save money when you're stacking endorsements:

Hazmat ELDT — $20 (H endorsement, theory only)
CDL-A Theory ELDT — $20 (BTW required separately at a local FMCSA-registered provider)
CDL-B Theory ELDT — $20 (BTW required separately)
School Bus ELDT — $20 (S endorsement)
Passenger ELDT — $20 (P endorsement)
CDL-A Permit Prep — $15 (DMV practice questions — not ELDT, paired study aid)
Hazmat + DMV Test Prep Bundle — $30 (Hazmat ELDT + Permit Prep, saves $5)
CDL Complete Bundle — $45 (CDL-A ELDT + CDL-B ELDT + CDL-A Permit Prep, saves $10)
3-Endorsement Bundle (H + P + S) — $50 (saves $10 vs. buying each separately)

The Bundle Math — Every Bundle Saves You Money

All three bundles are genuine discounts off buying the components individually. The math:

3-Endorsement Bundle ($50): Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus ELDT. Individual price: $20 × 3 = $60. Saves $10. Worth it if you're adding all three endorsements.
CDL Complete Bundle ($45): CDL-A Theory ELDT + CDL-B Theory ELDT + CDL-A Permit Prep. Individual price: $20 + $20 + $15 = $55. Saves $10. The full Class A journey — both theory courses for the skills test plus 119 DMV practice questions for the permit test.
Hazmat + DMV Test Prep ($30): Hazmat ELDT + CDL-A Permit Prep. Individual price: $20 + $15 = $35. Saves $5. Worth it if you're studying for both the Hazmat ELDT and the DMV knowledge test at once.

Whatever you pick, Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (LA OMV) verifies your ELDT completion through the FMCSA Training Provider Registry — DLA Academy auto-submits within 24 hours of completion.

How DLA Academy Compares to Other ELDT Providers

Other FMCSA-approved ELDT providers typically charge $23–$75 per course. DLA Academy is consistently the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved option — same regulatory coverage (Appendix A to Part 380), same auto-submission to the FMCSA TPR, same 49-state acceptance. The difference is the price tag and the user experience: under 2 hours, mobile-friendly, no hidden fees, no upsells during checkout.

What's the same at every approved provider: the curriculum (set by FMCSA), the registration with the federal TPR, and the legal weight of the completion. What's different: pricing, course length, and how aggressive the upsells are.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does ELDT cost in Louisiana?+

Individual ELDT courses are $20 each. That includes Hazmat ELDT, CDL-A Theory ELDT, CDL-B Theory ELDT, School Bus ELDT, and Passenger ELDT. Our CDL-A Permit Prep study tool (119 DMV practice questions) is $15 — it's not FMCSA-approved ELDT, but it prepares you for your Louisiana CLP knowledge test. Most other FMCSA-approved providers charge $23–$75 per course, so DLA Academy's $20 flat rate is the best deal in the market.

Can I save money with bundles?+

Yes. We offer three bundles that all save money vs. buying individually. The CDL Complete Bundle is $45 (CDL-A Theory ELDT + CDL-B Theory ELDT + CDL-A Permit Prep = $55 if separate, saves $10). The 3-Endorsement Bundle is $50 (Hazmat ELDT + Passenger ELDT + School Bus ELDT = $60 if separate, saves $10). The Hazmat + DMV Test Prep Bundle is $30 (Hazmat ELDT + CDL-A Permit Prep = $35 if separate, saves $5). All genuine discounts.

What does the ELDT price include — and what doesn't?+

The $20 ELDT price covers the online theory course, auto-submission to FMCSA, and your completion certificate. It does NOT include behind-the-wheel (BTW) training, DMV testing fees, or TSA Hazmat fingerprinting (if you're getting Hazmat). BTW is a separate step — you'll arrange that with a local FMCSA-registered provider in Louisiana. The LA OMV handles TSA enrollment through IDEMIA Universal Enroll if you're adding the Hazmat endorsement.

How much will I spend total to get a CDL in Louisiana?+

Budget roughly $100–$200 just for training and testing. Your DLA ELDT is $20 (or $45 for the CDL Complete Bundle if you're doing CDL-A). Behind-the-wheel training at a local provider typically runs $200–$500. LA OMV permit and license testing fees are separate. Hazmat adds the TSA fingerprinting fee (roughly $85–$100). Most drivers spend $500–$1,200 total, depending on which endorsements they pursue and whether they take multiple BTW lessons.

Why is DLA Academy cheaper than other ELDT providers?+

We run a streamlined operation — online-only delivery, no storefront overhead, no driving ranges to maintain. We pass those savings to you. Other FMCSA-approved providers charge $23–$75 per course because they operate physical training centers or bundle BTW into their pricing. DLA Academy separates ELDT (the online theory) from BTW (the hands-on driving), so you pick your own local BTW provider and only pay us for what you actually need.
