What It Costs and Where to Start in New Mexico

Every FMCSA-approved ELDT theory course is $20, online, and finished in under 2 hours. Completion is filed to the federal Training Provider Registry within 24 hours.

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 $30 for either CDL theory course paired with 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)? — neither has an ELDT requirement. The federal rule covers Class A, Class B, the B-to-A upgrade, and Hazmat, Passenger and School Bus only. Both are knowledge-test only at your state DMV: Tanker Test Prep — $15, or Hazmat & Tanker Complete — $45 if you need the Hazmat ELDT too.
Getting a Class B CDL in New Mexico means working through the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division (NM MVD). Federal law requires FMCSA-approved ELDT before you can take the skills test. DLA Academy's CDL-B Theory ELDT covers everything the NM MVD expects — all online, $20, done in under 2 hours.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does CDL-B Theory ELDT cover?+
CDL-B Theory ELDT covers the federal curriculum for Class B vehicles — weight limits, air brake systems, vehicle inspection, safe driving practices, and hazard perception. It does not include behind-the-wheel training. You'll complete the online course, then schedule BTW separately at a local FMCSA-registered provider before taking the NM MVD skills test.
How long does the course take?+
The CDL-B Theory ELDT completes in under 2 hours. You can start and stop as needed — there's no strict time limit per session. Once you finish, your completion is auto-submitted to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry (TPR) within 24 hours, and the NM MVD can verify it immediately.
How much does CDL-B ELDT cost?+
CDL-B Theory ELDT is $20. That's the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved option available. If you're planning to get both Class A and Class B, the two theory courses are $20 each, and each one pairs with permit prep in its own bundle: the CDL A ELDT + Permit Prep Bundle and the CDL B ELDT + Permit Prep Bundle are $30 each, saving $5 vs. $35 separately.
Is DLA Academy FMCSA-approved? Will the NM MVD accept my completion?+
Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. Your completion is auto-submitted to TPR within 24 hours. The NM MVD verifies ELDT by querying TPR — once your completion appears there, you're cleared to schedule your skills test with them.
Who needs ELDT, and who's grandfathered?+
Anyone who obtained their first CDL on or after February 7, 2022, must complete FMCSA ELDT. If your Class B license was issued before that date, you're grandfathered and don't need ELDT for that license. However, if you're upgrading from Class B to Class A, or adding a new endorsement (H, P, S), you still need ELDT for the upgrade or endorsement — grandfathering doesn't cover those.
