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.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What ELDT courses does DLA Academy offer in Oregon?+
DLA Academy offers five FMCSA-approved ELDT courses for Oregon drivers: CDL-A Theory ELDT, CDL-B Theory ELDT, Hazmat ELDT, Passenger ELDT, and School Bus ELDT. Each course is $20 and covers the federal knowledge requirements. Hazmat, Passenger, and School Bus are endorsement-specific courses. CDL-A and CDL-B Theory courses cover the theory required before you take the Oregon DMV skills test — behind-the-wheel (BTW) training is completed separately at a local FMCSA-registered provider.
Do I need ELDT to get a CDL in Oregon?+
Yes, if you're obtaining a CDL for the first time on or after February 7, 2022. You must complete FMCSA-approved ELDT before the Oregon DMV will allow you to take the Class A or Class B CDL skills test. If you held a valid CDL before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered and don't need retroactive ELDT — but you DO still need ELDT if you're upgrading your license class or adding a new endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus). DLA Academy's courses meet the federal mandate and are recognized by Oregon DMV.
How long does it take to complete an ELDT course?+
Each individual ELDT course at DLA Academy completes in under 2 hours. The courses are online, self-paced, and you can start and finish on your schedule. Once you finish, your completion is auto-submitted to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry within 24 hours — the Oregon DMV verifies your ELDT status through that registry when you apply for the CDL skills test.
What's the cost, and are there discounts for multiple courses?+
Individual ELDT courses are $20 each. If you're getting the CDL-A with multiple endorsements, we offer bundle discounts: the CDL A ELDT + Permit Prep Bundle ($30) includes CDL-A Theory ELDT and the CDL Permit Practice Test — saves $5 vs. buying individually ($35), and the CDL B ELDT + Permit Prep Bundle ($30) pairs the same practice test with CDL-B Theory ELDT. The 3-Endorsement Bundle ($50) includes Hazmat, Passenger, and School Bus ELDT — saves $10 vs. $60 individual. For Hazmat applicants, the Hazmat + DMV Test Prep Bundle is $30 — saves $5 vs. $35. DLA Academy is the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved option.
Do I need anything else besides ELDT to get a CDL in Oregon?+
Yes. ELDT is only the theory step. You also need: (1) behind-the-wheel (BTW) training at a local FMCSA-registered provider — DLA Academy does not provide BTW; (2) a Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) from the Oregon DMV, which requires passing the DMV's knowledge test (general knowledge, air brakes, and combination vehicles for Class A); (3) the Class A or B CDL skills test at Oregon DMV. For Hazmat, you'll also need TSA clearance through standard IDEMIA enrollment. We offer CDL-A Permit Prep ($15) — 119 practice questions to study for the Oregon DMV knowledge test — but this is a study tool, not ELDT. Many drivers pair Permit Prep with our CDL-A Theory ELDT course.
