Getting your CDL in Montana means working with the Montana Motor Vehicle Division (Montana MVD). The federal FMCSA ELDT mandate took effect February 7, 2022 — and DLA Academy is your lowest-cost, FMCSA-approved provider.

Montana CDL Requirements — Quick Reference

To get any Commercial Driver's License in Montana you'll work through Montana Motor Vehicle Division (Montana MVD). 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, Montana 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 Montana CDL drivers?+
We offer five FMCSA-approved ELDT courses: CDL-A Theory ELDT, CDL-B Theory ELDT, Hazmat ELDT (required for the H endorsement), Passenger ELDT (required for the P endorsement), and School Bus ELDT (required for the S endorsement). Each course costs $20 and completes in under 2 hours. We also offer bundles — the CDL Complete Bundle ($45) includes CDL-A Theory, CDL-B Theory, and CDL-A Permit Prep; the 3-Endorsement Bundle ($50) includes Hazmat, Passenger, and School Bus ELDT.
How much does ELDT cost in Montana?+
Individual ELDT courses are $20 each. CDL-A Permit Prep (a DMV practice-test study tool, not ELDT) is $15. Bundles offer savings: Hazmat + Permit Prep is $30 (saves $5 vs. $35 individual); CDL Complete is $45 (saves $10 vs. $55 individual); 3-Endorsement is $50 (saves $10 vs. $60 individual). DLA Academy is the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved option.
Do I need behind-the-wheel training after DLA Academy's ELDT?+
Yes. DLA Academy covers the online theory required by FMCSA. Behind-the-wheel training (BTW) is a separate step you'll complete at a local FMCSA-registered BTW provider in Montana. You cannot take the CDL skills test with the Montana MVD until both ELDT and BTW are done.
Who needs ELDT in Montana? What about grandfathering?+
Any driver seeking a new CDL issued on or after February 7, 2022 must complete FMCSA-approved ELDT. Drivers who held a valid CDL before February 7, 2022 are grandfathered — they don't need retroactive ELDT. However, if a grandfathered driver pursues a new endorsement (H, P, or S) or upgrades to a higher class, ELDT is still required for that new endorsement or class.
Will DLA Academy submit my ELDT to the Montana Motor Vehicle Division?+
Upon completion, your ELDT record is automatically submitted to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry (TPR) within 24 hours. The Montana Motor Vehicle Division (Montana MVD) verifies your ELDT completion by checking the TPR. You don't need to manually submit anything — the system handles it.
