Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does CDL-B Theory ELDT cover?+

CDL-B Theory ELDT covers the federal Entry-Level Driver Training curriculum required for Class B commercial driving. It's online-only theory; you'll still need to complete behind-the-wheel (BTW) training separately at a local FMCSA-registered provider and pass PennDOT's skills test.

How long does it take to complete?+

CDL-B Theory ELDT completes in under 2 hours. You can finish it in a single session or break it into smaller chunks — it's entirely self-paced.

How much does CDL-B Theory ELDT cost?+

CDL-B Theory ELDT is $20. If you're also pursuing a CDL-A, consider the CDL Complete Bundle at $45 — it includes both CDL-A Theory ELDT and CDL-B Theory ELDT plus CDL-A Permit Prep (119 DMV practice questions), saving you $10 versus buying all three separately.

Is DLA Academy FMCSA-approved, and will my completion be sent to PennDOT?+

Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. Your completion is auto-submitted to the FMCSA TPR within 24 hours. PennDOT verifies your ELDT by querying the TPR when you apply for your Class B skills test.

Do I need ELDT if I already have a CDL or commercial license?+

If your CDL was issued before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered and don't need ELDT for that license class. However, if you're upgrading (e.g., from Class B to Class A) or adding a new endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, School Bus), you'll need the corresponding ELDT course. PennDOT and the FMCSA enforce this rule.
