The problem
Why can't I take my CDL knowledge test yet?
"I can't book my knowledge test until my ELDT is done."
Federal rules require ELDT theory before your first CDL or endorsement test. Until it's on the Registry, you're stuck.
- Weeks lost waiting on a classroom start date
- Your first paycheck pushed back
- A job offer that won't wait
