Not sure which one?

  • I already have a CDL and want to add an endorsement — you only need the endorsement course: Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus, $20 each. Skip CDL-A and CDL-B entirely.
  • I'm brand new and have no CDL — start with CDL-A or CDL-B theory, then complete behind-the-wheel training locally. Theory alone does not get you licensed.
  • I want all three endorsements — the 3-endorsement bundle is $50 instead of $60 separately.
  • What's the cheapest way to do everything? — bundles are the floor: $50 for H+P+S, or $45 for CDL-A + CDL-B + permit prep. Adding Hazmat all-in, including the federal TSA background check and your state's endorsement fee, typically runs $110–$150.
  • Tanker (N) or Doubles/Triples (T)? — those need no ELDT at all. They are knowledge-test only at your state DMV, so there is nothing to buy here for them.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need ELDT to get a Missouri CDL?+
If your Missouri driver license was issued before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered — your existing CDL doesn't require retroactive ELDT. But if you're applying for a new CDL or adding any endorsement (H, P, or S) after that date, ELDT is mandatory. New applicants always need ELDT. Upgrades from Class B to Class A also require ELDT.
Why does DLA Academy's ELDT auto-submit to MO DOR?+
DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved. When you complete any course, we submit your record to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry (TPR) within 24 hours. Missouri Department of Revenue — Motor Vehicle and Driver Licensing verifies your ELDT by checking TPR — you don't have to do anything extra. Your completion shows up on MO DOR's end automatically.
How long does each course take?+
All ELDT courses (CDL-A Theory, CDL-B Theory, Hazmat, Passenger, School Bus) complete in under 2 hours. CDL-A Permit Prep is self-paced but most students finish in 1–2 hours. You can pause and resume anytime.
What's the difference between Permit Prep and CDL-A Theory ELDT?+
CDL-A Theory ELDT ($20) is the federal mandate — it covers training on general knowledge, air brakes, and combination vehicles, and auto-submits to FMCSA TPR. CDL-A Permit Prep ($15) is a DMV study tool with 119 practice questions for Missouri's CLP knowledge test. It's not FMCSA-approved ELDT and doesn't fulfill the federal requirement. But if you plan to get a Class A, you need BOTH: ELDT to meet federal law, and Permit Prep to study for the state's test. The CDL Complete Bundle ($45) includes all three (CDL-A ELDT, CDL-B ELDT, and Permit Prep) and saves $10.
What about behind-the-wheel (BTW) training?+
DLA Academy covers online theory only. BTW must be completed separately at a local FMCSA-registered provider. You'll schedule that with your chosen trainer. Many students complete DLA's ELDT first, then schedule BTW afterward — but you don't have to do them in that order. MO DOR accepts both simultaneous and sequential completion.
