No. Actually, most of our students rarely have any prior truck driving experience.

A Class A CDL training prepares students to land entry-level jobs as commercial truck drivers who will be able to drive over-the-road (OTR), regional, or local. A Class B CDL allows you to drive a single vehicle with a gross vehicle weight of more than 26,000 pounds such as a tow truck, dump truck, delivery truck, or a utility truck. With a Class A license, you can drive a Class B vehicle. However, a Class B license will not allow you to drive a Class A vehicle, thus it has more limitations.

The Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) Mandate requires truck driving schools to satisfy the requirements set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and Department of Transportation (DOT). Schools that receive this certification have incorporated an acceptable balance of classroom education and behind-the-wheel instruction into their training programs. The purpose of this mandate is to create an industry-wide standard for CDL training that leads to safer truck drivers. Students wanting to pursue their CDL must attend an ELDT certified school. If they don't, they won't be allowed to take the CDL test at the DMV.

The ELDT Mandate does not impact drivers who received their CDL or a CDL endorsement (such as passenger, hazardous materials, or bus driver) before February 7, 2022. Additionally, if you got your CLP before this date and renewed it or obtained your CDL before it expired, you do not need to complete ELDT certified training.
