Individual Behind-the-Wheel Road Training (Supplemental):
One-on-one road driving instruction is available for students seeking additional experience or skill reinforcement. This service is supplemental and does not replace completion of a TWC-approved Class A CDL program.
Self-Paced ELDT Theory (Online)
This optional, self-paced online theory course is provided through JJ Keller, an FMCSA-registered Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) provider. The course covers all required ELDT theory topics and allows students to complete classroom instruction at their own pace. Successful completion of this course satisfies the FMCSA ELDT theory requirement; behind-the-wheel training must still be completed separately.

This optional one-on-one range training provides 10 hours of individualized instruction focused on basic vehicle control, backing maneuvers, and pre-trip skill development. Training is conducted by a qualified instructor and may be applied toward FMCSA Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) behind-the-wheel range requirements when completed in accordance with ELDT standards.
Behind-the-Wheel Public Road
This optional one-on-one road training includes 10 hours of individualized driving instruction on public roadways, emphasizing safe operation, shifting, lane management, turning, and real-world traffic conditions. Training is provided by a qualified instructor and may be applied toward FMCSA ELDT behind-the-wheel road requirements when completed in compliance with ELDT standards.
