// ELDT guide
CDL theory,
explained plainly
01What is entry-level driver training?
Entry-level driver training, or ELDT, is a federal rule found in Part 380 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations. It applies to anyone seeking a first Class A or Class B commercial driver license, or upgrading from Class B to Class A, whose commercial learner's permit was issued on or after February 7, 2022. The training has two parts. Theory is the classroom portion, which can be taken online, and behind-the-wheel training is the hands-on portion on a range and on public roads. This page covers the theory portion only, through our partner American Safety Institute. Think of theory as the knowledge base and behind-the-wheel as the skills you are tested on.
02How was the provider checked?
On October 2, 2026, we searched FMCSA's public Training Provider Registry for American Safety Institute. The registry lists American Safety Institute, doing business as CDL Nationwide, as an online provider for Class A theory and Class B theory. The record was active and not under review that day. The listing does not include passenger, school bus or hazardous materials theory, and it does not include behind-the-wheel training. Its phone number matches the one the Florida DMV lists for American Safety Institute in Tallahassee, and its email uses the americansafetyinstitute.com domain. We share these details so you can repeat the check yourself instead of taking our word for it.
03Why confirm the registry reference at checkout?
The registry listing proves that American Safety Institute is registered as a provider. Our checkout page, however, does not display a registry reference for the Class A or Class B course, so the link between this specific product and the listing is a match by name, phone and email domain rather than a written confirmation. Before you pay or start, ask the provider to confirm that completions from our store are reported under its CDL Nationwide registry listing. It is a quick question, and it protects the time you put into the course. If the answer is anything other than a clear yes, call us at (407) 377-5530 before you continue.
04What does the theory cover, and how is it scored?
The federal rule lists the theory curriculum topics in Appendix A to Part 380, and the provider must cover all of them. There is no minimum number of hours for theory, so how long it takes depends on your own pace through the material. To complete it, you need an overall score of at least 80% on the theory assessment. Plan regular study sessions instead of one long push, take notes on the topics that are new to you, and review them before the assessment, because a passing overall score is the finish line. With no hour minimum, you can move faster through topics you already know and slow down on the ones you do not.
05What happens after I finish the theory?
Once you complete the theory, the provider must report your completion to the Training Provider Registry by midnight of the second business day. Ask the provider how it lets you know that the report went through. Your next step is the behind-the-wheel portion, which you arrange with a separate registry-listed provider. You may only take the CDL skills test after all of your entry-level training is complete, so finish both parts before you book it, and keep a copy of anything the providers send you for your records. Theory and behind-the-wheel can come from different registry-listed providers, as long as each one is listed for the training it gives.
06Where does behind-the-wheel training fit?
Theory alone is not enough for a Class A or Class B license. You also need behind-the-wheel training, both on a range and on public roads, from a provider on FMCSA's registry before the skills test. American Safety Institute's listing covers theory only, so you will need a separate behind-the-wheel provider. Ready 4 Roads is a driving school for passenger cars and is not a CDL school; we do not offer CDL behind-the-wheel training or truck lessons. Search the registry for a behind-the-wheel provider before or while you study the theory.
07Which Florida requirements should I keep in mind?
According to the Florida DMV, CDL applicants must be at least 18, and drivers under 21 are limited to driving within Florida. You also need to prove Florida residency. Since February 6, 2026, Florida gives CLP and CDL knowledge exams in English only, under the same bulletin that moved every license exam to English. Keep in mind that ELDT is a federal program, so the state does not approve ELDT courses; what matters is the federal registry. The state still issues your commercial learner's permit and your license. If English is not your first language, plan extra study time, since the theory course in our store is also in English.
08How can I check a provider myself?
Go to FMCSA's Training Provider Registry at tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov and search by the provider's name. Each listing shows the location type, such as online, and the training types the provider offers, such as Class A or Class B, theory or behind-the-wheel. Compare that with the course you are about to buy. For our store, search for American Safety Institute and look for the CDL Nationwide listing with Class A and Class B theory. If what you see does not match the course you need, call us at (407) 377-5530 before you enroll.
09Do I need ELDT if I got my CLP before February 7, 2022?
The ELDT requirement is written for applicants whose commercial learner's permit was issued on or after February 7, 2022. If your permit is older, your situation depends on your dates and on what you are applying for, so review the ELDT guidance on FMCSA's registry website before you buy a course. If your CLP was issued on or after that date and you are going for your first Class A or Class B license, or upgrading from B to A, the training applies to you and must come from a registry-listed provider.

Questions about
ELDT THEORY
01Is online ELDT theory valid in Florida?
ELDT is a federal requirement, so what counts is FMCSA's Training Provider Registry, not a state list. Training only counts when it comes from a registry-listed provider, and American Safety Institute (CDL Nationwide) is listed for Class A and Class B theory.
02Do I need behind-the-wheel training after theory?
Yes. Class A and Class B applicants also need range and public-road training from a registry provider before the skills test. Ready 4 Roads does not offer CDL behind-the-wheel training.
03How long does ELDT theory take?
The federal rule sets no minimum number of hours for theory. What matters is covering every required topic and scoring at least 80% overall.
04Can I take ELDT before getting my CLP?
Yes. There is no required order between theory and the CLP, but every part of the training must be finished before the skills test.
05Is ELDT required for a Class B CDL?
Yes, for a first-time Class B CDL when the CLP was issued on or after February 7, 2022. The same rule covers a first Class A CDL and an upgrade from Class B to Class A.
06Is the course available in Spanish?
Our store offers the Class A and Class B theory in English. Florida's CDL knowledge exams have also been English only since February 6, 2026.
