Hazmat EDLT Training
Topic 31608 | Page 1
Is that a federal or TX requirement? I thought only a background check and passing the exam was required, not a course.
Of course at $40 it's not a big deal, but I'd like to know to plan for it.
How long was the online thing? Couple hours? Couple hours a day for a week?
Just got my Class A CDL here in Texas. Had my CLP since December, but DPS was so booked up that I could not take my skills test until Feb.28th. Studying for my tanker and double/triple endorsements. Have to have the Hazmat EDLT training prior to taking the endorsement test. I found one on line at CL2go.com that was only $59. It automatically sent my certificate of completion to FMCSA. Just thought I would pass that along to anyone looking for Hazmat training that was reasonably priced.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
HAZMAT:

Explosive, flammable, poisonous or otherwise potentially dangerous cargo. Large amounts of especially hazardous cargo are required to be placarded under HAZMAT regulations

The CSA is a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) initiative to improve large truck and bus safety and ultimately reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities that are related to commercial motor vehicle

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.CLP:
Commercial Learner's Permit
Before getting their CDL, commercial drivers will receive their commercial learner's permit (CLP) upon passing the written portion of the CDL exam. They will not have to retake the written exam to get their CDL.
Yes, it is my understanding that it is a federal law now that if you have never had a Hazmat endorsement prior to Feb.7th, that you have to complete Hazmat ELDT training prior to being able to take the Hazmat endorsement exam. In Texas, you have to have proof that you completed the ELDT training before they will let you take the endorsement exam, then you will schedule your fingerprint session, and have to pass the TSA threat assessment before being issued the endorsement. The course that I mentioned was thorough, but not extremely difficult. It took me about 2 hours to get thru and then you have to pass the exam at the end of the course. Once you have passed the exam at the end, it automatically sends your results to FMCSA , as well as allows you to print off a copy of your certificate of completion. I checked the FMCSA web site 24 hrs after completion and it was there. I am scheduled to take the Hazmat endorsement exam as well as the tanker and double/triple endorsements next Monday.

Sounds simple enough. Worst case it probably helps prepare for the exam at the DMV a bit on top of any self studying

Appreciate that. Still deciding if it’s worth getting now. I don’t plan on carrying hazmat the rest of this year but who knows what happens in the future.
I was looking around and couldn’t find anything less than $99 and that wasn’t incredibly suspicious.
