Train the Trainer: Become an Entry Level Driver (ELD) Trainer

Effective February 7, 2022 FMCSA New Federal Motor Carrier Administration regulations require all new CDL drivers to complete a prescribed course of training prior to taking the skills test for the class of commercial driver’s license they are seeking.

Motor Carriers have questions on how they can provide driver training to their employees while staying compliant with the new federal regulations. This two day seminar will provide guidance to help you establish a new in-house driver training program that meets the new federal regulatory requirements.

Seminar Topics will include:

• • How to develop in-house company training for CDL drivers certification
  • • Note: In-house trainer must have an active CDL with necessary endorsement in order to train other individuals
• • Instructions on registering on the FMCSA Training Provider registry
• • Instructor requirements (theory and behind the wheel)
• • Review required areas of instruction for new drivers
• • Evaluation and assessment of driver trainee candidates
• • Review areas of the FMCSR’s required for ELDT instruction
• • Regulatory requirements for documentation and record keeping
