NJ - CDL Entry Level Driver Training Train-the-Trainer Program

This class will prepare an experienced Commercial Driver’s License Holder to conduct in-house training to satisfy the mandatory minimum Federal Curricula Requirements for Entry Level Driver Training, upgrade their current license, or add endorsements that were mandated to begin on February 7, 2022.

Attendees will be provided with materials necessary to present an ELDT program to potential Commercial Motor Vehicle License applicants and satisfy the mandatory FMCSA curriculum. This class is a workshop designed for CDL Entry Level Trainers your agency has selected and will review the resources available to create a training program for your agency. This class does not certify a person to be an instructor. The requirements for an instructor are reviewed in the class or you can review the MSI Safety Director Bulletin CDL Entry Level Trainer Best Practices. It is the responsibility of the employer to select an instructor(s) meeting all the requirements.”

Additionally, the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission Mobile Unit will be presenting to attendees on the changes to Chapters 11 and 12 in the CDL Manual, changes to the test including the pre-trip inspection, the basic skills section, and will provide an outdoor demonstration of a pre-trip inspection.

All attendees must have a valid CDL and bring it with them.

Attendees are encouraged to bring a CDL vehicle with them to the training for the outdoor demonstration.
