Entry-Level Driver Passenger-Carrying Endorsement Training
J. J. Keller’s online ELDT passenger-carrying endorsement courses will help you meet the FMCSA’s mandated theory instruction requirements. These interactive, expert-backed programs are designed to be used in tandem with our student and trainer manuals as part of a thorough program.
In early 2022, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) introduced new regulations that established a baseline of training requirements for entry-level drivers. These apply to those seeking to obtain a Class A or Class B CDL for the first time, upgrade an existing Class B CDL to a Class A CDL, or obtain a school bus endorsement, passenger endorsement, or hazardous materials endorsement for the first time.
An entry-level driver must, prior to taking the skills test, successfully complete a prescribed program of theory and behind-the-wheel instruction provided by a school or other entity listed on FMCSA's Training Provider Registry (TPR).
The Entry Level Driver Training Passenger-Carrying Endorsement Training Curriculum from J. J. Keller is designed to help drivers meet the theory instruction requirements set by the FMCSA for entry-level drivers seeking seeking a “P” (passenger-carrying) endorsement on a new or existing CDL.
