ELDT Training Online
Get Your CDL

ELDT HQ theory courses start at just $29.95 — one of the most affordable FMCSA-compliant options available. It's a one-time payment with no subscription and no hidden fees.

The theory training is 100% online and self-paced, so you control the speed. Most students complete their ELDT theory in a single day, and you can start and stop anytime on any device.

Yes. ELDT HQ delivers training that meets the FMCSA's Entry-Level Driver Training requirements under 49 CFR Part 380, covering the full required theory curriculum for your class or endorsement.

Yes. The FMCSA allows the theory portion of ELDT to be completed entirely online. ELDT HQ's theory courses are 100% online — no classroom, no scheduling, learn from anywhere.

Class A ELDT is for driving combination vehicles like tractor-trailers (semi-trucks). Class B ELDT is for single heavy vehicles like box trucks, dump trucks, and buses. Choose the class that matches the CDL you're pursuing.

Yes. When you complete the course and pass the final assessment, you receive your ELDT completion certificate — your proof of training and your next step toward getting your CDL.

Truly free, no-strings ELDT is rare. Most 'free ELDT' offers are carrier-sponsored programs that require you to sign an employment contract — and you may owe the training cost back if you leave early. At $29.95 one-time with no contract and no commitment, ELDT HQ is the closest thing to free ELDT that leaves you in control of your career.

The best ELDT course covers the full FMCSA curriculum for your class or endorsement, reports your completion to the Training Provider Registry, lets you study self-paced on any device, and doesn't overcharge for federally standardized content. ELDT HQ was built to hit every one of those marks — for $29.95 instead of the $99–$150 many providers charge.

Yes. The FMCSA explicitly allows the theory portion of ELDT to be delivered online, and completions are reported to the federal Training Provider Registry (TPR), which your state DMV checks before your test. Online ELDT theory from a registered provider is just as valid as classroom training.

Yes. ELDT is a federal FMCSA requirement, and completions reported to the Training Provider Registry are visible to every state licensing agency. Complete your theory with ELDT HQ and it counts no matter which state issues your CDL. (A few states add extra requirements for specific endorsements like School Bus — check your state's rules.)

No. Under the federal rule, your ELDT completion recorded in the Training Provider Registry does not expire. Finish your theory now and it stays on record until you're ready to test.

Either works. ELDT theory must be completed before your Class A or Class B skills test (or before the Hazmat knowledge test), but you can take the course before or after you get your commercial learner's permit. Many students knock out the $29.95 theory first, then get their CLP.

Yes. ELDT HQ works on any device — phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop. Your progress syncs, so you can study on breaks and pick up where you left off at home.

You review the material and take the assessment again — you need an overall score of at least 80% to complete the training. The course is self-paced, so you can go back through any topic before retesting.

Yes — the All-Access Bundle includes every ELDT HQ course (Class A, Class B, the B-to-A upgrade, Hazmat, Passenger, School Bus, and Tanker prep) for $49.95 one-time. Bought separately, those seven courses would cost about $210. It's the best deal for bus drivers stacking B + P + S, fuel haulers stacking A + H + N, or anyone who wants every option open.
