How does the process work?

Once you register and pay the tuition you will be given credentials to log into the online ELDT (Entry Level Driver Training)course. This course is federally mandated for anyone seeking a CDL and has not obtained their CDL prior to 2022. It is a self led, self paced program. If a student is getting a Class A CDL they need to be able to pass pass the air brakes, combination vehicle and general knowledge tests. If a student is getting a Class B they will need to be able to pass the air brakes and general knowledge tests. If they feel they can pass these tests they can get their DOT physical and take the exams to obtain their CLP (commercial learners permit).

Once the permit has been obtained the student can begin the behind the wheel training, skills training and pre-trip inspections. During this time they can complete the online ELDT course. Once the online course has been completed and the student achieves an 80% or higher grade and the behind the wheel training, skills training and they know how to do a pre-trip inspection to the satisfaction of the instructor, the student can then take the behind the wheel test. After the completion of these tests, the student can go to the DMV and get their CDL.

Does everyone have to get a DOT physical?

No. If you follow this link you can see if you fall under the guidelines and be able to self certify CDL SELF-CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENT, Division of Motor Vehicles, State of Alaska

Do I need a Commercial Learners Permit?

To start behind-the-wheel training you are required to have a valid commercial learners permit in the class of license you wish to train in issued by the Alaska DMV.

If a DOT physical is needed is it covered by the tuition?

No. The DOT physical will be the student’s responsibility.

Do I need a new commedrcial learners permit going from a Class B to a Class A license?

Yes, If you are currently licensed with a Class B CDL and you wish to upgrade to a Class A license. You are required to get a CLP (Commercial Learners Permit) for a Class A vehicle. If you already have an Air Brakes endorsement you will be required to take and pass the combination vehicle test. If you do not have an Air Brakes Endorsement you will be required to take and pass that exam before a CLP can be issued.
