Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is CDL-B Theory ELDT and who needs it?+
CDL-B Theory ELDT is the online, federally-mandated training required before you take the Class B CDL skills test with NCDMV. If you got your commercial driver's license before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered in and don't need retroactive ELDT. But if you're applying for your first Class B CDL now, or if you're upgrading from a Class C license to a Class B, you must complete ELDT first. DLA Academy's course covers the theory topics you need to know before the behind-the-wheel evaluation.
How long does the CDL-B Theory ELDT take?+
DLA Academy's CDL-B Theory ELDT completes in under 2 hours. You can finish in one sitting or break it into chunks across a few days — it's all online, so you move at your own pace. Once you complete it, your certificate is generated immediately and auto-submitted to FMCSA within 24 hours.
What's the cost of CDL-B Theory ELDT?+
CDL-B Theory ELDT is $20. That's the lowest price for FMCSA-approved training. If you're also getting your Class A CDL or need the Hazmat endorsement later, consider the CDL Complete Bundle ($45) — it includes CDL-A Theory ELDT, CDL-B Theory ELDT, and CDL-A Permit Prep, and saves you $10 versus buying each separately.
What happens after I complete the ELDT?+
After you finish, DLA Academy auto-submits your completion to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry within 24 hours. NCDMV will verify your ELDT completion when you apply for your Class B CDL. You'll still need to schedule behind-the-wheel training separately at a local FMCSA-registered BTW provider and pass the Class B skills test with NCDMV. ELDT is the theory step; BTW is a separate, required step.
Does NCDMV accept DLA Academy's ELDT?+
Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. NCDMV recognizes all FMCSA-approved ELDT providers, including DLA Academy. We're accepted in 49 states — all of them except Washington. When you submit your Class B CDL application to NCDMV, they'll verify your ELDT completion through the federal registry.
