The new Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) rule is quickly approaching.
Beginning February 7, 2022, ELDT is required for anyone who wants to:
- Obtain a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) for the first time.
- Upgrade an existing Class B CDL to a Class A CDL.
- Obtain a passenger, school bus or hazardous materials endorsement for the time.
You must successfully complete ELDT instruction provided by a school or other entity on FMCSA's new Training Provider Registry (TPR) prior to scheduling a CDL skills test or taking a hazardous material endorsement knowledge test.
You are not required to complete applicable ELDT if:
- You are issued an Oregon commercial learners permit (CLP) before February 7, 2022, as long as you get your CDL before your CLP expires. CLPs are issued for one year.
- You have proof that you have held a Class A or B CDL, passenger or school bus endorsement, or hazardous material endorsement at any time in the past.
- You have received a Military CDL skills test waiver.
