Ohio CDL Requirements — Quick Reference

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

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does each ELDT course take to complete?+

Each individual ELDT course (CDL-A Theory, CDL-B Theory, Hazmat, Passenger, School Bus) completes in under 2 hours. You can work at your own pace and log back in to finish anytime.

What's the cost of ELDT courses in Ohio?+

Individual ELDT courses are $20 each. CDL-A Permit Prep is $15 (it's a DMV study tool, not FMCSA ELDT). Bundles range from $30 to $50 and offer genuine discounts: the CDL Complete Bundle (CDL-A + CDL-B + Permit Prep) is $45 instead of $55; the 3-Endorsement Bundle (H+P+S) is $50 instead of $60. DLA Academy is the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved option.

Do I need ELDT if I already have a CDL from before February 2022?+

If you were issued a CDL before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered and don't need retroactive ELDT for that class. However, if you're upgrading to a higher class (e.g., Class B to Class A) or adding a new endorsement (H, P, or S) after February 7, 2022, you must complete ELDT for that upgrade or endorsement.

Is DLA Academy FMCSA-approved, and how does Ohio BMV verify my completion?+

Yes, DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. When you complete any ELDT course, we auto-submit your completion to FMCSA within 24 hours. The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (Ohio BMV) verifies your ELDT by querying the TPR database — you don't need to submit paperwork yourself.

What do I still need to do after ELDT in Ohio?+

ELDT is online theory only. You'll still need to obtain your Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) by passing the Ohio BMV's knowledge test. After that, you must complete behind-the-wheel (BTW) training at a local FMCSA-registered provider. Finally, you'll take the CDL skills test (pre-trip, basic controls, and road) at an Ohio BMV testing center. For Hazmat endorsement candidates, TSA security clearance (IDEMIA Universal Enroll) is required separately.
