Refresher Training for Drivers Getting Back on the Road

ELDT refresher training is behind-the-wheel practice. It isn't the federal ELDT theory requirement for brand-new drivers. It's a good fit if you're:

Reinstating a lapsed CDL

Finished with ELDT theory elsewhere and need skills test prep

Brushing up on rusty driving skills

Catching up on current FMCSA rules and regulations

REQUIREMENTS

What You'll Need to Enroll

Refresher training is for drivers who have held a CDL before. Here's what you'll need to get started.

Previous CDL or Farm Endorsement

A CDL you've held before, or a farm endorsement.

Commercial Learner's Permit

A current commercial learner's permit (CLP) for the class you'll test in.

HOW IT WORKS

Rebuild your confidence with backing and basic control maneuvers on our property.

Road Time

Get comfortable again on local roads and highways with an experienced instructor.

Skills Test Prep

Get ready for the pre-trip inspection, basic vehicle control and the road test.
