This Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) complies with the standards set forth by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and will prepare students to sit for the commercial driver’s license exam and begin a lucrative career in the transportation industry
Students will also need to complete a DOT physical, Driving background check and DOT drug screen – the costs of these three items are covered and will be administered by our training partner. There is help along the way to complete these in the weeks or month prior to the course.
