Class B CDL Theory Training
FMCSA-approved ELDT Theory Training for straight trucks, buses, and heavy single-unit vehicles. Self-paced online modules, CDL exam prep, and completion reported to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry.
What Is a Class B CDL?
A Class B Commercial Driver's License authorizes you to operate any single vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 26,001 lbs or more — as well as tow a vehicle not exceeding 10,000 lbs GVWR. This includes straight trucks, large buses, dump trucks, box trucks, and refuse vehicles.
Se'lah's Class B ELDT Theory Training fulfills the federal knowledge curriculum requirement (49 CFR Part 380) for first-time CDL applicants. Your completion is reported directly to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry — a legal requirement before your CDL skills test.
