Frequently Asked Questions

Checkout some of these questions. Then call 812-789-6306 or [message us]

February 7th 2022 everyone wanting a commercial drivers license must go to a ELDT school. You will not be able to self train. You will NOT be able to schedule a appointment in any State for a CDL test unless you’ve been through a school.  The school MUST be a Federal training provider. 


There are so many variables making this hard to answer. Most important is, the ELDT school an official federal training provider on their registry. Some ELDT schools may train all the elements needed but if they’re not on the federal TPR you will not be able to test. Another factor is what % of school graduates pass the State test on the first attempt? We have a 96% pass rate. Our trainers have decades of experience 


In just 1 week of on-line classroom videos + 4 weeks ELDT behind the wheel you’ll be ready to test out with the state. We’ve had some students step right into a $60,000 job before finishing class. The demand is great nationwide for CDL graduates. 


Well to be honest, that’s a tough one to answer. We do our very best to get applicants in as fast as possible. We offer a lot of different options so it depends on your individual needs. I can promise we will do everything we can to get everyone in quickly. 


Different companies donate funds that will be available to the school. Most of them are particle amounts but a few are full scholarships. Example: If your tuition is $4,500 and you can only afford to pay $2,500 or $3,000 then we would check for a $1,500-2,000 scholarship. Remember these are first come first serve donations. 


The short answer is yes. Our school is under strict guidelines by the Feds and the State. The main goal is safety for us and you. Our highly experienced trainers know when to go and when to say no.  


Nope. We suggest you don’t wear a tux or formal gown tho! But really just common sense street clothes and dress for the seasons. You will be outside working with heavy trucks etc. The only regulation is you must have a closed toe shoe. It does not have to be a steel toed shoe.
