Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the CDL-A Theory ELDT cost?+
DLA Academy's CDL-A Theory ELDT is $20—the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved option. Other providers charge $23 to $75 for the same course. If you're also preparing for your CDL-A permit test, consider the CDL Complete Bundle ($45), which includes CDL-A Theory ELDT, CDL-B Theory ELDT, and CDL-A Permit Prep—a $10 savings vs. buying all three separately.
How long does it take to complete?+
The CDL-A Theory ELDT completes in under 2 hours. You can finish in a single session or spread it across multiple days—your progress is saved automatically.
What are Mississippi's CDL-A requirements?+
To get a Class A CDL in Mississippi, you must be at least 21 years old (18 for intrastate only), have a valid Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) issued by MS DPS, and complete FMCSA-approved ELDT. You'll also need behind-the-wheel (BTW) training at a local FMCSA-registered provider—DLA Academy provides the theory; BTW is a separate step. Drivers who obtained their CDL before February 7, 2022, are grandfathered and don't need retroactive ELDT for that class, but any new endorsement (H, P, or S) or class upgrade still requires ELDT.
How does FMCSA approval work?+
DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. When you complete the CDL-A Theory ELDT, your certificate is automatically submitted to the FMCSA TPR within 24 hours. MS DPS verifies your completion by checking the TPR—you don't submit anything to the state separately. Your ELDT certificate is valid immediately upon course completion.
Do I need ELDT if I already hold a CDL?+
If you obtained your CDL before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered for that class and don't need retroactive ELDT. However, if you're upgrading from Class B to Class A, or adding any new endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus), you will need ELDT for the upgrade or endorsement. Check with MS DPS for your specific situation.
