Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT)
About the ELDT Regulations
FMCSA's entry level driver train regulations set the baseline for training requirements for the entry-level drivers. This applies to those seeking to:
- Obtain a Class A or Class B CDL for the first time; OR
- Upgrade an existing Class B CL to a Class A CDL; OR
- Obtain a school bus (S), passenger (P) or hazardous materials (H) endorsement for the first time.
The ELDT regulations are not retroactive; individuals who were issued a CDL or an S, P or H endorsement prior to February 7, 2022 are not required to complete training for the respective CDL or endorsement.
If an applicant who obtained a Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) prior to February 7, 2022 and obtains a CDL before the CLP or renewed CLP expires, the applicant is not subject to the ELDT requirements.
Any individual who meets one of the exceptions for taking a skills test in 49 CFT Part 383 is also exempt from the ELDT requirements.
About the Training Provider Registry
The FMCSA Training Provider Registry retains a record of which CDL applicants have completed the new training and certification process outlined in the Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) regulations.
Fore more information about the ELDT regulations and the Training Provider registry, visit http://tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov
The ELDT regulations and the Training Provider Registry were mandated under the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). The ELDT final rule was based, in part, on consensus recommendations from the Agency's Entry-Level Driver Training Advisory Committee (ELDTAC), a negotiated rulemaking committee that held a series of meeting in 2015.

Updated Passenger Carrying Vehicle Flow Chart
Intrastate operation – Intrastate passenger fee
A Wisconsin Intrastate passenger authority is required for any for
hire passenger operation within Wisconsin unless they meet the
following exceptions:

Taxi service
-

-
Commuter car pool - 8 passenger vehicle

Van pool - 8 passenger vehicle

When authority to operate is granted, the motor carrier will receive a certificate. This certificate will indicate the intrastate authority number designated by the letters "PC" and followed by the authority number. Interstate carriers would still need to obtain PC authority (if you have not already done so) for any transportation done within the state of Wisconsin. For more information, become a member of this association.

Changes affecting Commercial Driver Licenses (CDLs)
2009 Wisconsin Act 28 (the biennial budget bill) included several legislative changes related to CDLs to improve Wisconsin's compliance with the federal regulations.
All of the changes below take effect January 1, 2010.
Failure to appear / Failure to comply / Failure to pay
A two year disqualification will be imposed for Wisconsin CDL drivers if the department receives notice from another jurisdiction for failing to appear to contest a citation, failure to pay a judgment entered against the person, or failing to comply with the penalties imposed by a court. Disqualifications will be reduced to 30 days when notice of compliance is received.
New residents applying for CDL
If a person is convicted of a disqualifying offense in another jurisdiction while they are not a resident of Wisconsin, and the other jurisdiction imposed a disqualification for that offense and the disqualification period has expired, Wisconsin will not impose a new disqualification as a result of that conviction.
Administrative suspensions
- Administrative suspensions involving blood alcohol content (BAC) in any driving circumstance will now be treated as convictions.
- If a person is found innocent of the subsequent Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) or Prohibited Alcohol Concentration (PAC), or the court dismisses the OWI / PAC, the administrative suspension will not be purged without a court order.
- Credit for time served on the administrative suspension will be given for the disqualification arising out of the same incident.
- For Wisconsin CDL drivers, disqualifications will be imposed for out-of-state administrative suspensions.
Out-of-service orders
- Disqualification periods for violating out-of-service orders increase. A disqualification of two years will be imposed for two out-of-service violations (one year previously), and a disqualification of three years will result for three or more out-of-service violations (two years previously).
- Disqualifications will be imposed for out-of-service violations that are received out of state.
- Forfeitures for operating while ordered out-of-service increase to $2,500 for the first offense and $5,000 for the second and subsequent offense within 10 years ($1,100 and $2,750 previously).
