The trucking industry offers a rewarding career path, but before hitting the road, every aspiring commercial driver must meet the Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) requirements set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These rules ensure drivers are fully prepared to handle the challenges of operating a commercial vehicle. At 160 Driving Academy, we not only make the process simple but also include ELDT Theory Training for free when you enroll in our CDL training program.

Here’s everything you need to know about ELDT and why 160 Driving Academy is the best choice for your training.

What Is ELDT Training?

ELDT is a federally required program for individuals seeking to:

  • Obtain a Class A or Class B Commercial Driver’s License (CDL).
  • Upgrade from a Class B to a Class A CDL.
  • Add certain endorsements, such as Passenger (P), School Bus (S), or Hazardous Materials (H).

This training is divided into two key components:

  1. Theory Training: Classroom-based or online instruction covering safety, vehicle operation, and regulations.
  2. Behind-the-Wheel Training: Hands-on driving practice under the supervision of a certified instructor.

ELDT ensures drivers are well-versed in the knowledge and skills required for safe and effective vehicle operation.

The Cost of ELDT – and How 160 Driving Academy Saves You Money

Many CDL training programs require students to pay extra for ELDT courses. This can add hundreds of dollars to your overall expenses, making an already challenging career step even more costly.

At 160 Driving Academy, we believe in keeping things simple and affordable. That’s why we include ELDT Theory Training for free when you enroll in our behind-the-wheel training program. You’ll get everything you need in one comprehensive package without any hidden fees.
