New Entry-Level Driver Training Requirements Deadline is Here

Date Posted: 01/20/2022

The Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) rule establishes minimum training standards for drivers. As of February 7, 2022, compliance with all aspects of the ELDT rule is required. The rule applies to drivers who are:

Applying for their initial CDL.
Upgrading their current CDL.
Obtaining a passenger, school bus, or hazardous materials endorsement for the first time.

An entry-level driver must, prior to taking the CDL 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 TPR may be accessed at https://tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov/Provider.

As part of a comprehensive entry-level driver training program, these 54 online courses will help you meet the theory instruction requirements for Class A or Class B CDL.
