What is required for ELDT?
ELDT has two parts; a theory (classroom) and behind-the-wheel (hands-on).  The theory portion covers 30 topics of instruction, which is basically an expanded version of the CDL Drivers Manual.  Our online program, you can complete in just a few hours sitting at home.  Our tests are simple, and we cut out the "fluff" that other programs have that just make for for time and waste. 

The behind-the-wheel portion you meet us and we go over all the required skills you must perform, including range practice for all required backing skills, and on road practice in various traffic situations to help prepare you for the CDL Skills Test.  


The theory portion is designed to take less than 8 hours total to complete.  

The BTW portion, based on your experience level, will require 8-12 hours to complete.
