Getting your CDL in Rhode Island doesn't have to break the bank. DLA Academy offers FMCSA-approved ELDT courses starting at just $20 each—the lowest-priced option available. Whether you're adding an endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus) or completing theory training for your Class A or B license, we have transparent pricing and bundle discounts that save you real money.

Rhode Island ELDT Pricing — Every Course, Every Bundle

Every individual FMCSA-approved ELDT course on DLA Academy is $20 flat in Rhode Island — no discounts, no surge pricing, no surprise fees. Bundles save money when you're stacking endorsements:

Hazmat ELDT — $20 (H endorsement, theory only)
CDL-A Theory ELDT — $20 (BTW required separately at a local FMCSA-registered provider)
CDL-B Theory ELDT — $20 (BTW required separately)
School Bus ELDT — $20 (S endorsement)
Passenger ELDT — $20 (P endorsement)
CDL-A Permit Prep — $15 (DMV practice questions — not ELDT, paired study aid)
Hazmat + DMV Test Prep Bundle — $30 (Hazmat ELDT + Permit Prep, saves $5)
CDL Complete Bundle — $45 (CDL-A ELDT + CDL-B ELDT + CDL-A Permit Prep, saves $10)
3-Endorsement Bundle (H + P + S) — $50 (saves $10 vs. buying each separately)

The Bundle Math — Every Bundle Saves You Money

All three bundles are genuine discounts off buying the components individually. The math:

3-Endorsement Bundle ($50): Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus ELDT. Individual price: $20 × 3 = $60. Saves $10. Worth it if you're adding all three endorsements.
CDL Complete Bundle ($45): CDL-A Theory ELDT + CDL-B Theory ELDT + CDL-A Permit Prep. Individual price: $20 + $20 + $15 = $55. Saves $10. The full Class A journey — both theory courses for the skills test plus 119 DMV practice questions for the permit test.
Hazmat + DMV Test Prep ($30): Hazmat ELDT + CDL-A Permit Prep. Individual price: $20 + $15 = $35. Saves $5. Worth it if you're studying for both the Hazmat ELDT and the DMV knowledge test at once.

Whatever you pick, Rhode Island Division of Motor Vehicles (RI DMV) 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 ELDT cost in Rhode Island?+

Individual FMCSA-approved ELDT courses are $20 each. That includes Hazmat ELDT, CDL-A Theory ELDT, CDL-B Theory ELDT, School Bus ELDT, and Passenger ELDT. We also offer bundles: the Hazmat + DMV Test Prep Bundle is $30 (saves $5), the CDL Complete Bundle (CDL-A + CDL-B + Permit Prep) is $45 (saves $10), and the 3-Endorsement Bundle (Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus) is $50 (saves $10). DLA Academy is the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved option on the market.

How do DLA's prices compare to other providers?+

Most FMCSA-approved ELDT providers charge $23 to $75 per course. DLA Academy charges $20 per course—flat rate, no hidden fees. If you're getting multiple endorsements or both CDL-A and CDL-B theory, our bundles save you even more. You're not paying for marketing or corporate overhead; you're paying for federally-compliant training at the lowest possible price.

What's included in the $20 course price?+

The $20 covers the FMCSA-approved online ELDT training only. It does NOT include behind-the-wheel (BTW) training—that's a separate step you'll complete at a local FMCSA-registered provider in Rhode Island. It also does NOT include the DMV knowledge test, the CDL skills test, or TSA Hazmat fingerprinting (if applying for Hazmat). Those are all separate steps managed by the Rhode Island Division of Motor Vehicles (RI DMV) or TSA.

Do bundles save money compared to buying courses separately?+

Yes—all three bundles are genuine discounts. The Hazmat + DMV Test Prep Bundle saves $5 ($30 vs. $35). The CDL Complete Bundle saves $10 ($45 vs. $55 for three separate products: CDL-A Theory + CDL-B Theory + Permit Prep). The 3-Endorsement Bundle saves $10 ($50 vs. $60 for Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus). If you're unsure which bundle fits your goals, pick the individual courses instead—no pressure to bundle.

What does Rhode Island DMV charge for testing and licensing?+

ELDT is separate from RI DMV fees. The RI DMV charges for your Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) knowledge test, the CDL skills test, and license issuance. TSA Hazmat fingerprinting (if applying for the H endorsement) uses the standard IDEMIA Universal Enroll process and has its own fee. Visit the Rhode Island Division of Motor Vehicles website for current fee schedules. DLA Academy's price covers only the ELDT portion.
