Maine CDL Requirements — Quick Reference

To get any Commercial Driver's License in Maine you'll work through Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles (Maine 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, Maine uses the standard IDEMIA TSA enrollment process — schedule your fingerprinting through Universal Enroll.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What ELDT courses does DLA Academy offer for Maine?+
DLA Academy offers five 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 sell CDL-A Permit Prep ($15), a DMV practice-question tool that is not ELDT but pairs with CDL-A Theory ELDT. Bundles include the CDL Complete Bundle (CDL-A + CDL-B + Permit Prep, $45), the 3-Endorsement Bundle (Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus, $50), and the Hazmat + DMV Test Prep Bundle ($30).
How long does an ELDT course take to complete?+
Each ELDT course completes in under 2 hours. You can start and stop as needed — there's no time limit. Once you finish, your completion is auto-submitted to FMCSA TPR within 24 hours.
What are Maine's ELDT and CDL requirements?+
Maine BMV requires FMCSA ELDT for anyone obtaining a new CDL or adding a new endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, School Bus) on or after February 7, 2022. If your CDL was issued before February 7, 2022, you are grandfathered from ELDT for that license class — but you still need ELDT if you upgrade to a higher class or add a new endorsement. CDL-A and CDL-B applicants must also complete behind-the-wheel training at a separate FMCSA-registered provider; DLA Academy covers theory only. Contact Maine BMV for specifics on testing locations and requirements.
Is DLA Academy FMCSA-approved, and will my completion be submitted to Maine BMV?+
Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. When you complete an ELDT course, your certificate is auto-submitted to FMCSA TPR within 24 hours. Maine BMV verifies ELDT completion by querying the TPR database — we do not submit directly to Maine BMV. You do not need to manually upload your certificate; the TPR submission handles it.
Do I need ELDT if I already have a CDL issued before February 7, 2022?+
If your CDL was issued before February 7, 2022, you are grandfathered and do not need ELDT for that license class. However, if you upgrade to a higher class (e.g., from CDL-B to CDL-A) or add a new endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus), you will need ELDT for the new endorsement or class, even if your original license is grandfathered. Check with Maine BMV if you are unsure whether your situation qualifies for grandfathering.
