Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does CDL-B Theory ELDT cover?+
CDL-B Theory ELDT covers the federal knowledge and skills required for Class B commercial driving. It does not include behind-the-wheel training — you'll complete that separately at a local FMCSA-registered BTW provider in Texas. DLA Academy's course is the theory component only, as mandated by the FMCSA.
How long does the course take to complete?+
The CDL-B Theory ELDT completes in under 2 hours. You can finish it in one sitting or break it up across multiple sessions — it's 100% online and you control the pace.
How much does CDL-B Theory ELDT cost?+
CDL-B Theory ELDT is $20. If you're also pursuing your Class A CDL, consider the CDL Complete Bundle ($45) — it includes CDL-A Theory ELDT, CDL-B Theory ELDT, and CDL-A Permit Prep (119 DMV practice questions), saving you $10 vs. buying all three separately ($55 individual).
What does TX DPS require after I complete ELDT?+
Your ELDT completion is automatically submitted to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry (TPR) within 24 hours. TX DPS verifies your ELDT by checking TPR. You'll then schedule your CDL-B skills test with an authorized third-party tester in Texas. Behind-the-wheel training must be completed at a separate local provider before the skills test.
Do I need ELDT if I already have a CDL issued before February 7, 2022?+
CDLs issued before February 7, 2022 are grandfathered — you don't need retroactive ELDT to keep your current license. However, if you're upgrading your class (e.g., from CDL-B to CDL-A) or adding a new endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus), you will need the corresponding ELDT course. Check with TX DPS if you're unsure whether an upgrade or endorsement applies to you.
