Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CDL-B Theory ELDT cost?+

CDL-B Theory ELDT is $20. That's the lowest price for an FMCSA-approved course. If you're also planning to get your Class A CDL, the CDL Complete Bundle is $45 — it includes CDL-A Theory ELDT, CDL-B Theory ELDT, and CDL-A Permit Prep (119 DMV practice questions), saving you $10 versus buying all three separately ($55 individual).

How long does the course take to complete?+

CDL-B Theory ELDT completes in under 2 hours. You can finish it in one sitting or spread it across a few days — there's no time lock between lessons. Once you submit your completion, DLA Academy auto-submits your record to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry within 24 hours.

Do I need ELDT if I already have a CDL or a commercial learner's permit?+

If your CDL was issued before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered and don't need ELDT for that license. However, if you're upgrading from Class B to Class A, or adding a new endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus), you'll need ELDT for the upgrade or endorsement — grandfathering doesn't cover new classes or endorsements. Always check with the Mass RMV if you're unsure about your specific situation.

What happens after I complete the course?+

DLA Academy automatically submits your completion record to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry within 24 hours. The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (Mass RMV) verifies ELDT completion by checking the federal registry — you don't submit it yourself. Once verified, you're cleared to schedule your Class B CDL skills test at a Mass RMV office. Remember: behind-the-wheel training must be completed separately at a local FMCSA-registered BTW provider.

What state-specific rules apply to CDL-B in Massachusetts?+

Massachusetts requires ELDT completion before you take your CDL-B skills test at the Mass RMV. You'll also need a Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) — obtain it by passing the state's knowledge test at the Mass RMV office. Once you have your CLP, you can schedule your practical driving test. Behind-the-wheel training must be completed with a separate FMCSA-registered provider — DLA Academy covers theory only. For current Mass RMV rules and testing locations, visit mass.gov/rmv.
