Training Programs
FMCSA's Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) rule, effective February 2022, set federal minimum training standards for anyone obtaining a new CDL or certain upgrades — but training that stops at the ELDT minimum misses the ongoing, carrier-specific gaps that actually drive incidents.
We build ongoing training tied to your actual CSA problem areas and incident history — not a generic annual video nobody remembers a week later.
Training that actually moves the needle on incidents and CSA scores, because it's targeted at your specific gaps.
- 01Review incident history and CSA data to identify training priorities.
- 02Build or source targeted training content.
- 03Schedule and track completion across the driver pool.
- 04Reassess priorities as incident patterns shift.
What ELDT requires — and what it doesn't cover
The ELDT rule requires new CDL applicants (and certain upgrades, like obtaining a passenger or hazmat endorsement) to complete training from a provider listed on FMCSA's Training Provider Registry before taking their skills test — but it's a one-time entry requirement, not an ongoing program addressing a specific carrier's recurring incident patterns.
Why targeted training beats generic annual training
A training program built around a carrier's actual CSA BASIC scores and incident history — addressing the specific violation types actually occurring — measurably changes behavior in a way that generic, one-size-fits-all annual training typically doesn't, simply because it's addressing the real problem rather than a generic risk list.
