A CDL, or Commercial Driver's License, is a specialized license required for individuals who operate commercial vehicles such as trucks, buses, and tractor-trailers. It's issued by state governments and signifies that the holder has passed the necessary knowledge and skills tests to safely operate these larger vehicles on public roads. CDLs come in different classes, with each class allowing the driver to operate vehicles of specific sizes and types. Obtaining a CDL often involves completing a training program (which we offer!) and passing both written and practical exams to ensure competency in handling commercial vehicles. Becoming ELDT certified requires two parts. We offer the first part which is the theory course.

You can’t fully get a CDL permit online, as you’re required to go in person to complete certain requirements, which vary depending on your state. Some states offer digital tools to streamline the process, such as scheduling appointments to accessing study materials or submitting initial forms. Typically you can complete some preliminary steps online via your state’s DMV website. However, federal and state regulations typically require an in-person visit for the knowledge test, vision screening, and permit issuance. Check your local DMV site for the latest options.

While you can’t fully take the CDL test online in most states due to in-person requirements, our practice tools ensure you’re confident and ready when it’s time to take the official CDL test at your local DMV. Take our online practice test to make sure you’re prepared for the official test.

Although most states require an in-person visit to complete the Class A and Class B license test, our online practice resources are crafted to ensure you’re well-prepared and self-assured. Equip yourself for success at your local DMV with our ELDT certified Class A and Class B CDL courses, tailored to help you meet the theory course requirements and prepare for the in-person exam.
