A commercial driver’s license (CDL) is required in the United States to operate large and heavy vehicles, including trucks, buses, and trailers. For new drivers or those seeking additional endorsements, Entry Level Driver Training (ELDT) is a mandatory federal requirement. These regulations establish the minimum training standards drivers must meet before taking specific CDL knowledge or skills tests.

Smart Horizons, an approved Training Provider for ELDT Theory, offers fully online theory training tracks that meet all federal standards. Upon completion, all results are promptly reported to the Training Provider Registry (TPR). Enrollment is open now, and learners can begin immediately.

If you know someone who could benefit from ELDT Theory training, please feel free to share this information. We are open to curriculum partnerships. Lessons are available without reporting services, upon request
