Thank you for your interest in purchasing CDL training from Elite ELDT for someone special.  Before you make a decision, we’d like you to understand a little bit about the federal regulations that require training such as the training we provide.

Back in February 2022, the FMCSA (which is an agency under the Department of Transportation) mandated that everyone who wishes to get a CDL, hazmat endorsement, passenger endorsement or school bus endorsement must complete required training through a certified training provider.  This required training is referred to as entry-level driver training or ELDT.

ELDT has two main parts, theory and behind-the-wheel (aka BTW).  Training for all CDLs, the passenger endorsement and the school bus endorsement require both of these parts.  However, if someone wishes to train for just a hazmat endorsement, they are not required to do any behind-the-wheel training.

Elite ELDT is a certified provider of both online theory and behind-the-wheel ELDT.  We currently sell online classes all over the United States to satisfy the theory training requirements.  Our behind-the-wheel training is generally provided to the southeastern states and is limited by the unique regulations in each state.  Elite ELDT does not provide any training for the school bus endorsement.
