ELDT Entry-Level Driver Training
Entry-Level Driver Training Requirements for CDL Applicants
The new Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) regulations require that all entry-level drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) receive training from a provider listed on FMCSA’s Training Provider Registry.
Beginning February 7, 2022, to be eligible to take required skills or knowledge tests, commercial driver’s license (CDL) applicants must have completed applicable entry-level driver training from a registered training provider.
Use the scenario chart below to determine if you are required to complete entry-level driver training:
ELDT EXCEPTIONS:
The ELDT regulations do not apply to individuals not required to have a CDL as outlined in 49 CFR part 383, or for whom the state has waived the CDL skills test.
Important notes to meet the ELDT requirements:
Do I need to complete training with a registered training provider?
Entry-level drivers must select a training provider that is listed on the Training Provider Registry. Only registered training providers will be able to submit certification of a driver’s completion of entry-level driver training to the Training Provider Registry.
When am I eligible to take my CDL skills or knowledge test?
Training must be completed before taking a CDL skills test or if the driver is applying for the H endorsement, the knowledge test.
