How training works

Theory is online. Driving is with us. Most students are licensed in three to four weeks.
STEP 1, TONIGHT

ELDT theory online

Federal law requires it before the DMV permit test. Nixon students do it through ELDT365: about 2 hours on your phone, $20, filed to the FMCSA registry the moment you finish. Start theory

STEP 2, THIS WEEK

DMV permit test

Bring your DOT medical card and documents. We tell you exactly what to bring so you go once. Walk out with your commercial learner permit.

STEP 3, ON THE YARD

Behind the wheel at Nixon

Pre-trip inspection, backing, then the road, on our trucks at 1963 Mount Vernon. One student in the seat. Sessions booked around your job, English or Spanish.

STEP 4, TEST DAY

DMV skills test

Fourteen days after your permit at the earliest. We drive you to the DMV in the truck you trained on. Pass, and the DMV issues your CDL.

Add an endorsement

Online through ELDT365, our theory provider. $20 each, about 2 hours, filed to the FMCSA registry the moment you finish.

Not sure which one you need? Read the endorsement guide or ask when we call.
