FMCSA & ELDT Compliance
What is ELDT?
Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) is a mandatory training program established by the Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for individuals seeking to obtain a Class A or
Class B CDL for the first time, upgrade their existing license, or obtain specific endorsements
(School Bus, Passenger, or Hazardous Materials).
Our ELDT Training Program
CDL Study Buddy offers a comprehensive ELDT-compliant training program that meets all federal
requirements set forth by the FMCSA. Our curriculum is designed to provide you with both the
theoretical knowledge and practical understanding necessary to operate commercial vehicles safely
and professionally.
Our ELDT program covers all required topics including vehicle operation, safe operating procedures, advanced driving techniques, vehicle systems and maintenance, non-driving activities, and specialized content for specific endorsements. Upon completion, we report your training directly to the FMCSA's Training Provider Registry (TPR), ensuring your records are accurate and up-to-date.
