Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the CDL-B Theory ELDT cover?+

The course covers federal and New York State CDL rules: vehicle inspection, safe driving practices, cargo securement, hours-of-service regulations, and hazmat awareness. It does NOT include behind-the-wheel training — BTW is a separate step you'll complete with a local FMCSA-registered provider.

How long does the course take?+

The CDL-B Theory ELDT completes in under 2 hours. You can finish it in one sitting or split it across multiple sessions — there's no time limit or expiration. Once you complete it, your certificate is auto-submitted to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry within 24 hours.

How much does CDL-B Theory ELDT cost?+

CDL-B Theory ELDT is $20. If you're also pursuing a Class A CDL, the CDL Complete Bundle is $45 — it includes CDL-A Theory ELDT ($20), CDL-B Theory ELDT ($20), and CDL-A Permit Prep ($15), saving you $10 vs. buying each separately.

Is DLA Academy FMCSA-approved, and will my course be submitted to the NY DMV?+

Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. When you finish CDL-B Theory ELDT, your completion is auto-submitted to the FMCSA TPR within 24 hours. The NY DMV will verify your training by checking the TPR — you don't need to submit anything yourself.

Who needs CDL-B Theory ELDT?+

Anyone applying for a NEW Class B CDL in New York after February 7, 2022 must complete FMCSA-approved ELDT first. If you got your CDL before that date, you're grandfathered in — but if you're upgrading to Class A or adding an endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, School Bus), you still need ELDT for that new class or endorsement.
