CDL Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT)

DCMO BOCES is a certified training facility for the newly mandated USDOT / NYS DMV ELDT program for individuals interested in earning their commercial driver’s license to drive professionally.  The program includes 30 hours of instruction, provided online, and one-on-one on-the-road training on both a closed course and on the open road.  On-the-road training time is determined by the skills and knowledge of the student.

  • CDL-A license will allow you to drive tractor-trailers. 

  • CDL-A-Restricted license will allow you to drive any dump truck of any size and specifications along with a 10,000 pound plus trailer attached; loaded with anything from heavy equipment, gravel, firewood, blue stone, culverts, pipe, etc.

  • CDL-B license will allow drivers to earn good money while driving dump trucks, log trucks, box trucks, cargo trucks, milk trucks, and more.

  • S (School Bus) and P (Passenger) endorsements are included in the DCMO ELDT program.

  • H (Hazardous Materials) endorsement is optional.  

If you have completed the ELDT with a CDL-B but wish to upgrade to a CDL-A, you will need to retake the ELDT for the upgraded license.  We can help you with this as well.
