ELDT sounds like something we actually need for everyone who wants a driver’s license to drive automobiles, motorcycles, or both, but how the hell does the FMCSA and DOT plan to “combat the truck/bus driver shortage” if they keep making it harder to get a CDL???

@Liowen 2 года назад

So I'm a bit confused on a few things. First do I need a CLP in order to take the ELDT or does this basically do away with the whole CLP? Is a DOT med card needed to do the ELDT or does that come after you have completed the ELDT? The whole thing is just poorly setup and if it is working the way that I think it does wouldn't this make it easier to get a CDL-A from a mega carrier and ride out the year contract then.

@Trucksafe 2 года назад

You’ll still need a CLP since you’ll be operating on public roads during the behind-the-wheel portion of the training. You need a med card to get the CLP.

@Liowen 2 года назад

Just looked over the stuff needed to pass the ELDT and I have to say it seems very light on what needs to be learned. The theory part could be 2-3 and someone should be good enough to pass it at 80%, oddly enough it seems like a lot of the same stuff you given in the CLP test honestly. The behind the wheel time could fill in 2 weeks, so at minimum a new driver could have a CLD-A in less than 3 weeks. Is it good or bad doing this way I'm not sure, but it feels rushed.

We would recommend you first find a registered trainer near you and ask them how they prefer you start the process. In most cases, you’ll need your CLP before you take the behind the wheel portion.

@Trucksafe 2 года назад

Good question...no great answers, unfortunately. The regulations don't set any mandatory minimum time for the BTW training, so you may just have to shop around for a trainer whose course is less involved. They definitely exist. Doesn't have to be a school. You can search for them at tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov.

No, if you are looking to reinstate the same Class B that your previously held but has since lapsed, you should not be required to take ELDT. Check out FMCSA’s fact sheet here: tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov/content/Resources/ELDT-Applicability-Factsheet_rev_508.pdf

Yes, if you would have obtained your permit prior to Feb. 7, you could have avoided the new training requirement. You’ll now have to take the theory and BTW course in order to take your skills test.

I completed their coarse required but my question is if I completed the theory Hazmat endorsement coarse for the ELDT, is there another Theory EDLT coarse that I would have to complete? Or does the hazmat theory coarse I took satisfy the training for “Theory” in general? I’m only asking this because I actually start school next week. The school is confused on if I still need the theory portion of the ELDT because I went through another provider prior to attending their school. The school I’m attending didn’t even know you can obtain your CLP prior to taking the theory class. They use the first week of school to teach the required coarse and then send off their students on fridays to get their CLP. I’m in a unique situation whereas I obtained my CLP on my own and got ELDT through a certified provider online for my state. I only took the coarse to obtain the required ELDT theory for Hazmat. Please help

@Trucksafe 2 года назад

Yes, the curriculum for the hazmat theory training is not the same as the curriculum for the theory portion of your base CDL, so you need both.

Question: I am in the admission process at my local UT community college in order to get a A CDL but as part of their requirements is getting a CLP. Is my local DMV at this date providing them? Since today is a holly day Monday I can’t get in touch with my school adviser and my DMV is closed. Thanks in advance.

@Trucksafe 2 года назад

Yes, they are still issuing CLPs. Generally, you’ll have to pass a knowledge test to get a CLP.

Really no secret to it…use your experience to develop an outline and content that follows the mandatory curriculum we linked in our last comment. Also there are some groups that resell training materials. SambaSafety is one.

@will-ehawk349 Год назад

Is ELDT training required if you're going for a Class B but none of the endorsements that's required for it? Right now I'm in the process of my CDL but I can't pass the driving portion. I passed everything else. Air Brake, Pre-Trip etc. But struggling with driving. But anyways. My permit expired Jan 2, 2023 and when I renew it I'm only going for a B license but only the regular General Knowledge and Air Brakes. No passenger, school bus or hazmat. Will I still have to do ELDT?

@Trucksafe Год назад

Yes, ELDT is required for a base Class B CDL.

Ok I’m a little confused. I have had my CDL since November 2018. I saw this rule and I’m currently scheduled for an appointment for the hazmat test. Since I have had my CDL before the start of this rule, do I need the ELDT training for hazmat or can I walk in and take the exam without it?

You’ll need ELDT to take the test.

@MC-bi2sk 2 года назад

would you happen to know if it's legally required for someone that had a CDL license in the past, downgraded to a class D and then got a CLP for the same license and endorsments after feb 7th? because technically I wouldn't be classified as a "new driver" considering I had done it in the past and have experience and it's not an upgrade or any additional endorsements. I'm basically trying to reinstate the license I used to have. they aren't really clear with what they mean. The way they word it as being a CDL driver for the first time which sounds like if I were a B and now I was going for an A then I would be a "new driver". And I technically am not a first time CDL B driver.

@Trucksafe 2 года назад

The FMCSA’s guidance says that if you’ve held a CDL of the same class in the past and simply let it “lapse” then you are exempt from the new ELDT requirement. That guidance is available here: tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov/content/Resources/ELDT-Applicability-Factsheet_508.pdf. But, I’m not sure how the agency interprets that guidance if your CDL was involuntarily downgraded. Not sure if that’s your situation or not.

My questions are if, I received my Clp before February 7th 2022 which was 2/2/22 but don't have my hazmat endorsement which, I want but my dmv here in Georgia told me. I could not get it until, I finish my cdl class which is April 2nd 2022 will, I still have to take the eldt part? In order to get my hazmat endorsement? Because I have so many people telling me different thing's like the website just says if you have your clp before the 7th then you are not required to do the eldt but it's a bit confusing when also it's says if your getting a endorsement for the first time you need to take the eldt.

@jmcvay12 2 года назад

Exactly! I'm in the same boat here in Indiana. Trying to get my hazmat and already taken the knowledge exam with the BMV and got my TSA fingerprints approved. But Indiana still won't let me have my endorsement. But I did print out and show them that it's not retroactive and us who have their CLP or CDL before Feb 7th are not required to go through ELDT, to which the BMV showed me two pamphlets that FMCSA gave them to "train" them which was in conflict with this. Crazy they can't figure it out!

@WrightAid 2 года назад

You had to obtain your endorsement and license prior to February 7th. Even if you received your permit prior to 02/07/22 the process of the hazmat endorsement had to be final and complete before that date in order for you to no be obligated to take the new Theory class.

@tashastep1823 2 года назад

Update well the answer to my question is, I had to take eldt class online then go to the dmv to get my endorsement then go to tsa and get my fingerprints so now. I'm all set if you never had any endorsements as of H,S or P you had to get it before February 7th 2022 as the same rules applies for a clp or cdl.

@Trucksafe 2 года назад

@jmcvay12 2 года назад

Tasha, same advice I got as well. Had to take an online course, which was to prepare me to take the knowledge test I already passed! So was a bit backwards, but that struggle was only to prepare me for my current struggle of attempting to get the passenger endorsement to drive our church bus. Have to take in person ELDT and on the road training, but no one offers it around me!!!! Closest place I found was 4 hours away, a week long, and $900!!!!!! Absolutely ridiculous when I already have an unrestricted class A CDL and am not driving the bus for profit, but for church! I've come down to basically having to get a part time job at a school to get a school bus endorsement. Our fine government at work!
