Getting a CDL in North Carolina means working with the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV).

Whatever you pick, North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV) verifies your ELDT completion through the FMCSA Training Provider Registry — DLA Academy auto-submits within 24 hours of completion.

How DLA Academy Compares to Other ELDT Providers

Other FMCSA-approved ELDT providers typically charge $23–$75 per course. DLA Academy is consistently the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved option — same regulatory coverage (Appendix A to Part 380), same auto-submission to the FMCSA TPR, same 49-state acceptance. The difference is the price tag and the user experience: under 2 hours, mobile-friendly, no hidden fees, no upsells during checkout.

What's the same at every approved provider: the curriculum (set by FMCSA), the registration with the federal TPR, and the legal weight of the completion. What's different: pricing, course length, and how aggressive the upsells are.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does DLA Academy ELDT cost?+
Individual FMCSA-approved ELDT courses are $20 each: Hazmat ELDT, CDL-A Theory ELDT, CDL-B Theory ELDT, School Bus ELDT, and Passenger ELDT. DLA Academy is the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved option — most competitors charge $23–$75 per course. We also offer discounted bundles: Hazmat + DMV Test Prep ($30, saves $5), CDL Complete ($45 for CDL-A ELDT + CDL-B ELDT + permit prep, saves $10), and the 3-Endorsement Bundle ($50 for Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus, saves $10).
What's included in the $20 ELDT course price? What's NOT included?+
The $20 ELDT course price includes the online theory training itself, auto-submission to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry, and a certificate of completion. It does NOT include behind-the-wheel (BTW) training — you'll arrange that separately at a local FMCSA-registered provider. It does NOT include your North Carolina DMV skills test, permit test, license fee, or TSA fingerprinting (for Hazmat). Those are separate steps and costs handled directly with NCDMV or the fingerprinting vendor.
How much does a full CDL cost, including DLA's ELDT?+
DLA Academy covers the federally-mandated ELDT step. The total cost of getting a CDL includes: (1) DLA's ELDT course ($20); (2) BTW training at a local provider (typically $1,000–$3,000 depending on school and location); (3) NCDMV permit test fee and skills test fee; (4) license fee; and (5) for Hazmat, TSA fingerprinting through IDEMIA ($85–$100). DLA's $20 is the smallest piece — the bulk of the expense is BTW and licensing through NCDMV.
Is the CDL-A Permit Prep ($15) worth buying alongside CDL-A Theory ELDT ($20)?+
Yes. CDL-A Theory ELDT ($20) is the federal training requirement — it's not the same as passing the DMV knowledge test. Permit Prep ($15) is a study tool with 119 practice questions covering General Knowledge, Air Brakes, and Combination Vehicles — the three topics on North Carolina's CLP knowledge test. They serve different purposes. Together ($35) or bundled as part of CDL Complete ($45 with both ELDT courses), they prepare you for both the federal mandate and the state test.
What's the difference between the CDL Complete Bundle ($45) and buying courses separately?+
CDL Complete includes CDL-A Theory ELDT ($20) + CDL-B Theory ELDT ($20) + CDL-A Permit Prep ($15). Buying them separately costs $55. The bundle saves you $10 and is the full foundation for the Class A journey: both theory courses to satisfy the federal ELDT mandate, plus the 119-question DMV permit prep to study for North Carolina's knowledge test. If you only need one license class (A or B), buy that individual ELDT course ($20) and add Permit Prep ($15) separately if you want it.
