Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is CDL-B Theory ELDT and why do I need it?+
CDL-B Theory ELDT is the federal online training required before you can take the Class B CDL skills test. It covers the theory foundation — vehicle inspection, safe driving practices, cargo securing, and more — but does not include behind-the-wheel (BTW) training. You'll complete the BTW portion separately at a local FMCSA-registered provider in Montana after passing the theory course. Both components are required to earn your Class B CDL.
How much does DLA Academy's CDL-B Theory ELDT cost?+
CDL-B Theory ELDT is $20. If you're pursuing a Class A CDL instead, consider the CDL Complete Bundle for $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 a single session or break it into shorter chunks — it's entirely self-paced.
Will my course completion be submitted to the Montana MVD?+
Yes. Your completion is auto-submitted to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry within 24 hours. The Montana Motor Vehicle Division (Montana MVD) verifies ELDT completion by querying that registry before allowing you to test. You don't need to manually submit anything to the Montana MVD — DLA Academy handles it.
Do I need ELDT if my CDL-B was issued before February 7, 2022?+
If your Class B CDL was issued before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered — you don't need retroactive ELDT for that license. However, if you're upgrading to a Class A CDL, or adding an endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus), you'll need the appropriate ELDT course. Check the Montana Motor Vehicle Division (Montana MVD) website or contact them directly if you're unsure about your status.
