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.
Getting a CDL in Nebraska means working through the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (Nebraska DMV). Federal ELDT (Entry-Level Driver Training) has been required since February 7, 2022. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. We offer all the ELDT courses Nebraska drivers need — at the lowest price on the market.

Nebraska CDL Requirements — Quick Reference

To get any Commercial Driver's License in Nebraska you'll work through Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (Nebraska DMV). 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, Nebraska uses the standard IDEMIA TSA enrollment process — schedule your fingerprinting through Universal Enroll.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need ELDT if I already have a CDL?+
If your Nebraska CDL was issued before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered — no retroactive ELDT required. However, if you're adding a new endorsement (H, P, or S) or upgrading to a higher class, you must complete the relevant ELDT course. DLA Academy's ELDT covers both new drivers and drivers upgrading.
How long does an ELDT course take?+
Each individual ELDT course completes in under 2 hours. You can finish CDL-A Theory, CDL-B Theory, Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus ELDT in one sitting. After completion, we auto-submit to FMCSA within 24 hours, and Nebraska DMV verifies through the Training Provider Registry.
What happens after I complete Hazmat ELDT?+
After finishing Hazmat ELDT, you'll proceed to TSA Hazmat fingerprinting through IDEMIA Universal Enroll. IDEMIA handles the fingerprinting appointment, background check, and security threat assessment. Only after TSA approval can you take the Hazmat endorsement test at Nebraska DMV.
How much does ELDT cost in Nebraska?+
Individual ELDT courses are $20 each. The CDL-A Permit Prep (DMV study tool) is $15. Bundles save you money: CDL Complete Bundle ($45 — saves $10), 3-Endorsement Bundle ($50 — saves $10), or Hazmat + DMV Test Prep Bundle ($30 — saves $5). DLA Academy is the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved option.
Is DLA Academy FMCSA-approved?+
Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. When you complete any of our ELDT courses, we auto-submit your completion to FMCSA within 24 hours. Nebraska DMV verifies your ELDT by checking the Registry — you don't need to submit anything yourself. We've trained 3,000+ drivers with a 5.0 Google rating across 43+ reviews.
