CDL Theory question

Boy - I’m totally confused.

 

Here is a list of 3,000 of them. Take your pick.
Training Provider Registry

 

It's not CDL Theory. It's ELDT Theory and is now required per the FMCSA.

 

Sounds like your "training program" was a sham.....

 

Theory Instruction. The ELDT rule requires a standard curriculum in five areas of instruction: Basic Operation, Safe Operating Procedures, Advanced Operating Practices, Vehicle Systems and Reporting Malfunctions, and Non-Driving Activities.

 

ELDT: you have to pay extra money to watch videos trucking companies will show you for free. But once you watch those videos online and click on the right places on your screen, they will send a notice to your DPS that you paid the required money. Then you can proceed on as usual. That was my experience doing the HAZMAT extension.

OP -- "I found the place online but they seem to call it a practice theory test which I don't need to practice"

No, you wont need to do any of it, and most of it wont help you. But you have to go through all of it anyway.

 

I can't even remember the year. I know it was back in the 90s though. I remember sitting in the Petro TS in Arizona reading a Trucking Newspaper and reading the announcement that the FMCSA was starting a major hire. I went back to my truck thinking about that announcement. Today over 20 years later I now see the results. Since that happened look at all the 3rd party businesses in operation drivers are FORCED to do business with to stay a qualified driver. The funny part though? I don't think the FMCSA is finished and the kicker is, of course, it's all about safety!

 

Im working on 67 years old. Im done with the silliness. They tell me I have to jump through 1 more hoop and I will hand them my license and let ya'll fight and cry about it
