CDL A Theory ELDT
+ Permit Prep
Everything a first-time Class A applicant needs before the DMV — the federally required theory course, plus practice for all three permit knowledge tests. $30 for both, saving $5.
Getting your Class A means clearing two separate hurdles. ELDT is the federal training requirement — you cannot take your skills test without it, and it is reported to the FMCSA registry. The permit knowledge tests are your state's exams, and you need 80% on each to get your commercial learner's permit.
This bundle covers both sides for $30 — $5 less than buying them separately.

Who This Is For
First-Time Class A Applicants
Starting from no CDL. This covers the federal theory requirement and gets you ready for all three permit tests in one purchase.
Class B Drivers Upgrading
Upgrading from Class B to Class A requires CDL A Theory ELDT regardless of how long you have held your Class B — and Combination Vehicles is the test you have not taken yet.
Anyone Who Failed a Permit Test
The knowledge tests trip people up on air brakes more than anything else. 119 questions with explanations is what gets you through the second time.
Drivers on an Employer Timeline
Both products unlock immediately. Theory is under 2 hours, and you can start practising for the DMV the same day.
How It Works
Not Quite Right?
Fuel Hauler CDL A — $50
CDL A ELDT plus Hazmat ELDT plus tanker practice questions. If you are heading into fuel or chemical work, this covers the whole path — and hazmat needs a TSA background check that takes 4–8 weeks, so starting early matters.
