Test Yourself: Understanding entry-level driver training (ELDT) and the Training Provider Registry (TPR)
How well do you understand entry-level driver training (ELDT) and Training Provider Registry (TPR) requirements? Take this quiz to find out. Click below to see answers.
True or false:
- If we do any driver training, we are covered by the ELDT regulations.
- Only schools are covered by the TPR requirements.
- A driver will not be able to take a skills test for a Class A commercial driver's license (CDL) if the driver does not successfully complete ELDT.
- Our trainers that do “finishing training” (training with drivers who already have their CDLs) do not need to be qualified as “ELDT instructors.”
- The process for getting onto the TPR involves completing the online application and self-certifying that you have the required curriculum, facilities, equipment, and qualified instructors.
Test Yourself: Understanding entry-level driver training (ELDT) and the Training Provider Registry (TPR): Answers
Answers:
- False. The only time an entity (school or carrier) will be covered by the ELDT requirements is when the entity is training drivers to obtain an initial Class A or Class B CDL, to upgrade from a Class B CDL to a Class A CDL, or to secure certain endorsements.
- False. Any entity training entry level drivers (ones that are operating under a commercial learner’s permit) must be on the TPR and meet the ELDT requirements. For-hire schools may have more requirements at the state level, but at the federal level all entities performing ELDT must meet the same requirements, whether they are carriers, private truck driving schools, for-hire truck driving schools, etc.
- True. If the TPR database does not show that the driver has completed ELDT, the driver may not take the Class A CDL skills test.
- True. The instructor requirements in Part 380 apply only to trainers/instructors who are doing ELDT. If a trainer is working with drivers who already have their CDLs, the regulations do not apply. However, for legal protection and to make sure you are getting skilled solo drivers out of the finishing program, it is highly recommended that you have standards and training for your finishing trainers.
- True. To be on the TPR, you must complete the online application and self-certify that you meet all the requirements. If it is discovered at a later date that you do not meet the requirements, you will be removed from the TPR and fined.
