CDL Class A and B ELDT (CDL-AB)


Description
This is Entry Level Driver Training for a new Class A and B CDL Driver. This course satisfies the ELDT Theory requirement for FMCSA. At the completion of the course, you will receive a certificate of completion, and we will submit your completion to FMCSA.

You will then need to either schedule with us to perform your behind-the-wheel range and public road training, or contact an ELDT behind-the-wheel vendor in your area. We will assist with that if needed.

There will be quizzes throughout this as well as a final exam. You must score 80 percent to continue through all sections. Don't worry, we won't trick you or give you hard questions! Plus, if you don't pass a section, you can go back and try again! If you will pay attention, you should be just fine.

Good luck!
