Grade in-class, on the range, and on the road — one rubric, one record
ELDT is performance-based: your instructors decide proficiency, and your records have to defend that decision. DriverTrack standardizes the metrics so every evaluation is consistent, timestamped, and attributable.
The rule: Federal ELDT sets no minimum hours — theory requires an 80% assessment score, and BTW proficiency is determined solely by instructor assessment. Your grading records are the compliance artifact. § 49 CFR 380, App. A–E
Before & after
What grading & proficiency looks like without a system
Paper score sheets that disagree with each other by instructor and by day
Standardized rubrics for classroom, range, and public-road evaluations — the same scale every time
Proficiency decisions with nothing behind them when an auditor asks why
Every skill assessment is recorded with instructor, date, vehicle, and comments — the reasoning travels with the grade
Theory assessments tracked separately from BTW skills
Theory scores (the 80% federal threshold) and BTW proficiency live on the same student record
