CDL Help Desk: 601-391- 4217
NOTE: Beginning February 7, 2022, to be eligible to take required skills or knowledge tests, first time commercial driver’s license (CDL) applicants must have completed applicable Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) from a registered training provider listed on FMCSA's Training Provider Registry at https://tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov.
FMCSA’s Entry Level Driver Training regulations set the baseline for training requirements for entry-level drivers. This includes those applying for a:
- Skills test for obtaining a Class A or Class B CDL for the first time;
- Skills test for upgrading a Class B CDL to a Class A CDL;
- Skills test for obtaining a passenger (P) or school bus (S) endorsement for the first time; and
- Knowledge test for obtaining a hazardous materials endorsement for the first time.
The ELDT regulations are not retroactive; individuals who were issued a CDL or an S, P, or H endorsement prior to February 7, 2022, are not required to complete training for the respective CDL or endorsement.
If an applicant who obtains a Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) prior to February 7, 2022, obtains a CDL before the CLP or renewed CLP expires, the applicant is not subject to the ELDT requirements.
Any individual who meets one of the exceptions for taking a skills test in 49 CFR Part 383 is also exempt from the ELDT requirements.
