Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does CDL-B Theory ELDT cover?+
DLA Academy's CDL-B ELDT covers the federal theory curriculum required before you take the CDL-B skills test with the WV DMV. It includes vehicle inspection, safe driving practices, load securement, and other core topics. The course does NOT include behind-the-wheel (BTW) training — that's a separate requirement you'll complete with a local FMCSA-registered BTW provider after passing the theory.
How much does the CDL-B ELDT course cost?+
CDL-B Theory ELDT is $20. If you're also getting a CDL-A or need the CDL-A Permit Prep (119 DMV practice questions), consider the CDL Complete Bundle at $45 — that includes CDL-A Theory ELDT, CDL-B Theory ELDT, and CDL-A Permit Prep, saving you $10 vs. buying all three separately ($55 individual). DLA Academy is the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved option on the market.
How long does it take to complete the course?+
The CDL-B Theory ELDT completes in under 2 hours. You can finish it in one sitting or split it across multiple sessions — there's no time limit. Once you pass, your completion is auto-submitted to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry within 24 hours, and the WV DMV can verify it immediately.
Do I need ELDT if I already have a CDL or older license?+
If you held a valid CDL before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered — you don't need ELDT to keep that license. However, if you're upgrading to a new class (e.g., Class B to Class A) or adding a new endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, School Bus), you MUST complete ELDT for that upgrade or endorsement, even if your original CDL is grandfathered. Any new CDL application after Feb 7, 2022 requires ELDT.
Is DLA Academy's CDL-B ELDT accepted by West Virginia?+
Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the federal Training Provider Registry. When you complete the course, we auto-submit your certificate to FMCSA within 24 hours. The WV DMV verifies ELDT completion by querying the federal registry, so you're all set to schedule your CDL-B skills test. DLA's ELDT is accepted in 49 states — West Virginia included.
