Use the CDL Selector →Common Questions About Getting a CDL in West Virginia
What CDL class do I need?
It depends on the vehicle weight rating, trailer weight, passenger use, school bus use, and whether hazardous materials are transported. The selector tool gives a starting point, and your state licensing agency makes the final determination.
Do I need ELDT before testing?
ELDT generally applies when you are getting a Class A CDL, Class B CDL, Class B-to-Class A upgrade, or a Passenger, School Bus, or HazMat endorsement for the first time.
Is HazMat ELDT different?
Yes. HazMat ELDT is theory training and must be completed before the hazardous materials knowledge test. The TSA security threat assessment is a separate requirement.
Can I study before buying training?
Yes. You can compare CDL classes, review endorsement topics, and use the selector tool first. Paid products add organized practice modules, PDFs, and training access.
