"Had my Class B for 4 years driving box trucks. My CDL school said I could upgrade to Class A by just completing the ELDT theory. Did it here for $30 in about an hour. The pay difference was immediate — went from $22/hr to $28."

"I kept putting off the Class A upgrade because I thought it would be expensive and complicated. $30 and one evening later, my FMCSA cert was uploaded and I was booked for my skills test. Wish I did this years ago."

"Used ELDT365 for my Class B originally. Came back for the upgrade. Same quality, same fast process. Now I'm running my own route with a semi. This platform has been part of both levels of my career."

Why Upgrade from Class B to Class A?

If you already hold a Class B CDL, you've done the hard work. Upgrading to Class A opens the door to combination vehicles — tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, flatbeds with trailers, tankers. Class A drivers operate the highest-demand freight in the country, and they get paid accordingly.

What You'll Unlock

  • Tractor-trailers and 18-wheelers (Class A vehicles)
  • Truck-and-trailer combinations over 26,001 lbs GVWR
  • Flatbed trucks with heavy trailers
  • Tanker vehicles (with appropriate endorsement)
  • Long-haul and OTR trucking routes
  • Owner-operator opportunities
  • All Class B and C vehicles (Class A covers everything)

What's Covered in This Course

This upgrade training focuses on the additional knowledge needed specifically for combination vehicle operation:

  • Coupling and uncoupling procedures — tractor to trailer
  • Combination vehicle handling and turning techniques
  • Trailer backing and maneuvering principles
  • Air brake systems for combination vehicles
  • Weight distribution and proper cargo securement
  • Long-haul trip planning and fuel management
  • Federal regulations specific to combination vehicles

Requirements

  • Must currently hold a valid Class B CDL
  • Meet standard CDL age requirements (21 for interstate)
  • Current DOT physical

💰 The Real Cost of Staying at Class B

If Class B pays $50K and Class A pays $70K, that's a $20,000/year gap. Every year you wait costs you $20K. This $30 course is the theory requirement to start the Class A process — and it takes one evening. The math isn't complicated.

What Happens After This Course?

This course satisfies the ELDT theory requirement — Step 1. After completion, your certificate is auto-uploaded to the FMCSA registry. From there you'll complete behind-the-wheel skills training with an approved driving school, pass the Class A CDL skills test at your state DMV, and receive your upgraded license.

ℹ️ This is Theory Training — Not Your Full Upgrade

This $30 course is the required knowledge/theory component. You'll still need Class A behind-the-wheel skills training and the DMV skills test. Think of this as the official starting line — affordable, fast, and required first.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I skip the Class A skills test if I already have Class B?
+

No — you must pass the Class A CDL skills test at your state DMV. The skills test is a federal requirement regardless of your existing CDL. However, having Class B means you have a head start on vehicle inspection and general driving knowledge. This ELDT theory training completes the knowledge requirement; the skills test handles the practical side.

How fast will my cert be in the FMCSA system?
+

Your certificate is automatically transmitted to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry upon course completion — typically within minutes. Your DMV can verify your status the same day.

How much does Class A BTW skills training cost?
+

Behind-the-wheel training costs vary by school and location — typically $3,000–$7,000 for a full Class A program, though many trucking companies offer tuition reimbursement or sponsored CDL programs. Your $30 course here is the mandatory theory requirement before starting BTW training at most schools.

Can I do this on my phone?
+

Yes — fully mobile-optimized on any iOS or Android device. No app required. Just a browser and internet connection. Thousands of drivers complete it between shifts.

Does this work if my Class B CDL is from another state?
+

Yes. ELDT training requirements are federal — they apply the same way across all 50 states. This FMCSA-registered training satisfies the theory requirement regardless of which state issued your Class B CDL.

Your Next Level
